Quantitative Chemistry Flashcards
Is mass conserved in a chemical reaction?
Yes.
the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products
TRUE
If a reaction produces gas, does the reactant lose mass?
No, however it may appear to lose mass.
Relative formula mass?
Adding the Relative Atomic Masses (Ar) of each atom together.
What is the relative formula mass of H2O? H = 1 O = 16
(2x1)+(1x16) = 18
How to calculate Moles?
Moles = Mass (g) / Mr
Equation for concentration?
concentration (g/dm3) = mass of solute (g) / volume of solvent (dm3)
What is a limiting reactant?
A reactant that gets completely used up in a reaction, so limits the amount of product that is formed.
What is an excess reactant?
A reactant that is not used up.
