Quantitative chemistry Flashcards
what does the law of conservation of mass state?
no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction, mass of products= mass of reactants
whats the relative formula mass?
sum of all relative atomic masses
what are chemical amounts measured in?
moles (mol)
whats the mass of 1 mole of a substance?
its relative formula mass
what is avogadros constant?
6.02 x 10 to the 23
whats a limiting reactant?
reactant that is completely used up
what are reasons we cant obtain the same amount of product after a reaction?
the reaction may not go to completition because it is reversible
some product may be lost when separated
some reactants may react in unexpected reactions within
how do you calculate yield?
mass of product made over maximum theoretical mass of product x 100
whats concentration measured in?
mol/dm3
whats the volume of one mole of any gas at room temp and pressure?
24dm3
