Quantative Chemistry Flashcards
What is the mole in chemistry?
The mole is a unit that measures the amount of substance, defined as containing exactly 6.022 x 10^23 entities.
True or False: The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of that element in grams.
True
Fill in the blank: The formula for calculating moles is _____ = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol).
moles
What is Avogadro’s number?
Avogadro’s number is 6.022 x 10^23.
What is the relationship between moles and volume for gases at standard temperature and pressure (STP)?
At STP, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters.
Multiple Choice: What is the molar mass of water (H2O)? A) 18 g/mol B) 16 g/mol C) 20 g/mol D) 22 g/mol
A) 18 g/mol
What is the definition of stoichiometry?
Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
True or False: Stoichiometry is only applicable to balanced chemical equations.
True
Fill in the blank: In a balanced equation, the number of _____ of each element must be the same on both sides.
atoms
What does the term ‘limiting reactant’ refer to?
The limiting reactant is the substance that is totally consumed in a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of product formed.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a common unit for concentration? A) Molarity B) Kilograms C) Liters D) Moles
A) Molarity
What is molarity (M)?
Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
True or False: A 1 M solution of NaCl contains 1 mole of NaCl in 1 liter of solution.
True
What is the formula to calculate molarity?
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.
Fill in the blank: The process of converting between moles and grams involves using the _____ of the substance.
molar mass
What is the significance of the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation?
Coefficients indicate the relative number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction.
Multiple Choice: If 2 moles of A react with 3 moles of B, how many moles of C can be produced if the reaction is A + B → C? A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 5
B) 2
What is the purpose of a titration in quantitative chemistry?
Titration is used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.
True or False: The endpoint of a titration is indicated by a color change.
True
What is the formula for calculating percent yield?
Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100.
Fill in the blank: Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed based on the _____ of the limiting reactant.
stoichiometry
What is the difference between empirical and molecular formulas?
The empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of elements, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following represents the empirical formula for C6H12O6? A) C3H6O3 B) C6H12O6 C) CO D) C2H4O2
A) C3H6O3
What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?
A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
