Quantitative Chemistry Flashcards

1
Q

State what RAM stands for and give its definition.

A

Relative Atomic Mass

The relative atomic mass of an atom is the mass of the atom compared with the carbon 12 isotope, which has a mass of exactly 12, and it is the weighted mean mass of the mass numbers.

Q

How do you find one mole of a substance?

A

Step 1: MgO
Step 2: Mg O
Step 3: 24 + 16
Step 4: = 40g

Basically 1 mole is the RFM

Q

Go practice calculating reacting masses

A

Ok

17
Q

Why is % yield not always 100%?

A

Loss by mechanical transfer
Loss when fizzing
Loss by filtration
Incorrect measurements
Side reactions
Reaction not complete

18
Q

Why is the crucible weighed multiple times when heating a crystal to calculate water of crystallisation?

A

Heat to constant mass to ensure all the water had been removed
