quantative chemistry (paper 1) Flashcards
what are reactants
going in the reaction on the left arrow
what are products
come out on the right of the arrow
what is the law of conservation of mass
No atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants
rules of balancing equations
u cannot change subscript answers, e.g CO2 H2O CH4
you can add numbers in front to change ratio of compounds e.g 2H2O or 3CH4
what is 1 mole equal to
6.02x10 (23)
triangle for moles mass and molar mass calculations
mass
mole molar mass
why did the heated piece of magnesium in the chemical reaction mass increase
mass of magnesium increased when heated up because magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. magnesium gives two electrons to oxygen to form the white powder, therefore the mass increase because of the oxygen
how does lithium carbonate react in chemical reaction
Lithium carbonate is a gas and the crucible lid is loose therefore gassed can go in and out as carbon dioxide is a gas it can escape so the mass decreases. this is an example of thermal decomposition
what is the mass number of element symbol
AR
what is the mass number of compounds symbol
MR
how many cm3 in 1dm3
1000cm3
what is a standard solution
A solution of accurately known concentration
how do u work out concentration
conc (g/dm3) = amount of solute (g)
—————————-
vol of solution (dm3)
if working in cm3 use:
conc (g/dm3)= amount of solute (g)
—————————- x1000
vol of solution (cm3)
how do mass of solute and volume of water affect concentration of solution
the mass of a solute and volume of water affect the concentration of a solution as the greater the mass of solute the smaller the concentration, and greater the volume of water the smaller the concentration and vise versa
example of concentration of solute
when: 50g sodium hydroxide
200cn3 of solution
what is concentration in g/dm3
1dm3= 1000cm3
50g
—— = 0.25 0.25/cm3 x1000 = 250g/dm3
200cm3
calculating mass of solute example
sodium chloride conc = 200g/dm3
mass = 700cm3
700
——- =0.7dm3
10000
make solute the subject:
amount of solute= conc X volume of solution
so
200gX0.7 = 140g
what is a mole
relative atomic mass in grams or relative formums mass in grams
how to calculate miles from masses
mass (g) mass (g)
————- or —————-
AR MR
how to calculate masses from moles
mass (g)= number of moles X AR
or
mass (g)= number of moles X MR
24g of magnesium reacted with 71g of chlorine. calculate the mass of magnesium chloride produced
magnesium + chloride = magnesium chloride
mg + Cl2 =MgCl2
24g reacts with 71g
so 24+71 =95
so MgCl2= 95g because the reactants must equal the products
how are ionic compounds formed
when metals react with non metals
what ions does metals and non -metals from
metals form positive ions
non metals form negative ions
how do the charges of ions relate to periodic table
na is + ion (group 1)
mg 2+ (group 2)
al 3+ (group 3)
key rule for formal of an ionic compound
in an ionic compound the charges on the ions have to cancel out to leave an overall charge of zero
