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
