Quantitative chemistry Flashcards
what is concentration
measurement of how many moles of a substance is dissolved in a solvent it is measured in moles per dm3
what is the equation for moles involving mass and Mr
moles = mass divided by mr
what is the equation for concentration involving moles and volume
concentration = moles divided by volume
what is a titration
where an acid reacts with an alkali to give us salt and water
what is an ionic equation
H+ +OH- -> H20 (neutrilization)
what equipment do you need to perform a titration
buretter(unknown concetration
pipette(known concentration)
concial flask
stand
what is step one of performing a titration
use pipette to take 25 cm of the known concentration substance
what is step 2 of performing a titrationn
add an indiator to the conical flask which is phentel phalene
what is an indicator
substance that changes colour in an acid or alkali
what is yield
the mass of the product tjat is made in a chemical reaction
what is the equation for percentage yield
actual yield / theortical yield x 100
what are some reasons why we cant have 100% yield
1.some products will be left behind
2. not all rectants completely react for example in a resible reaction ]
3. sometimes unexpectant [products will happen as a side reaction
4.some product will be lost in separating
5.some of the reactant will not be pure
what is atom economy
the proportion of atoms in the reactants that are covered into useful products reactants with one product will have 100% atom economy
what is the equation for atom economy
rfm of desired products / rfm of all reactants x 100
what is the equation for gas volume including moles and volume
moles = volume / 24 dm 3
what are the conditions of the haber process
iron cataylst,hydrogen and nitrogen
what are the components of air
79% nitrogen , 20% oxygen,0.04% carbpn dioxide and less than 1% of noble gasses - argon,neon
How does the Haber process work
- the two gases,nitrogen and hydrogen will go to the compressor where they will be compressed together
- the compressor is at 200 atmosphere pressure and the tempreturew is 450 degrees
- the combined nitrogen and hydrogen will then go into the reaction vessel
- Iron catalyst will speed up the reaction then it will go into the cooling chamber
- the cooling chamber is where the ammonia will condense into liquid ammonia and any unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen will recycled. The ammonia will be collected for fertiliser
where does nitrogen come from
air
where does hydrogen come from
methane(natural gas
what is a reversible reaction
a reaction in which the product cam also combine to form the reactants
what is equilibrium
the rate at which the foward reaction = the rate of the backward reaction
why can you reach equillirbum in a reversible reaction
you can go both ways,both backward and forward
what is le chatelier’s principle
if a system is at equillibrium and a change is made to any conditions, then the susyem responds to contract the change
where can equillbrium only happen
in an open or closed system where by you are not adding or removing anything from the reaction
what are three factors that effect equllibrium
temperature,concentration and pressure
how does concentration effect equllibrium
- add more reactants mean an increase in concentration of the reactants and causes equilibrium to shift to the right because you have more reactants so they will combine to make products.So the forward reaction will be favoured and you will get more products produced until you reach equilibrium again
- less reactants, equilibrium will shift to the left so the products will combine to make more reactants
how does temperature effect equilibrium
- in every reversible reaction , if one side is exothermic, the opposite side will be endothermic
- expthermic releases energy to the surrounding
3.endothermic takes in energy from the surroundings - the energy is mostly heat energy or thermal
- increase the temperature endothermic will be favoured and would favour the backward reaction,equilibrium will shift to the left
6.decrease in temperature ,exothermic reaction and will favour forward reaction,more product formed
