Q

What does it mean for a reactant to be ‘in excess’ ?

Q

What are the problems with low atom economy?

A
  1. There will be more waste products to dispose of.
  2. It will be less sustainable as it will use more resources.

16
Q

What is a chemical change?

A

A rearrangement of the atoms in the reactants, to form the products.

17
Q

Suggest why the mass of a reaction vessel might decrease during a reaction.

A

One of the products is a gas and all the reactants are not. Before reaction, all reactants are contained in the reaction vessel. If this isn’t enclosed, the gas can escape from the reaction vessel as the product is formed. Therefore you cannot account for its mass.

18
Q

Suggest why the mass of a reaction vessel might increase during a reaction.

A

One of the reactants is a gas, and the products are not. Before the reaction, the gas is floating in the air, not contained in the reaction vessel, so you can’t account for its mass. When the gas reacts to form part of the product, it becomes contained inside the reaction vessel so the total mass of substances inside the reaction vessel increases.

19
Q

How can you tell the number of moles that would react together from the balanced symbol equation?

A

Molar ratios

20
Q

Concentration

A

A measure of how many particles of solute are dissolved in a given volume.

21
Q

What is r.t.p

A

room temperature and pressure
(20degrees celsius and 1atm)

22
Q

Why may the balance reading for products be less than that of the reactants? (2 reasons)

A

-Some of the reactants may have been spilled.
-One of the products was a gas and floated off

23
Q

Why might the balance reading for the products be more than the reading for the reactants? s i m p l e

A

Gas from the air reacted with the reactants.

24
Q

Give 3 reasons why percentage yield may be less than 100%

A

-Incomplete reactions
-Side reactions
-Practical losses (e.g spilling of some liquid reactant)

25
Q

If the percentage of oxygen in MgCO3 is 57%, and you have 25g of MgCo3, what mass of that is Oxygen?

A

0.57 x 25 = 14.25g

26
Q

percentage mass formula

A

mass of element in compound/ total mass of compound

x 100

27
Q

Explain how a fluorine atom can change into a fluorine ion, F-.

A

The atom must gain one electron to gain a full outer shell and become stable. This means that:
protons +9
electrons-10
charge -1

28
Q

Why should steel be recycled?

A

To conserve resources of iron/iron ore
To avoid the need for mining
To reduce the amount of landfill

29
Q

How do we calculate Mass of an unknown substance in Reactions?

A

1Write out the balanced equation

2Find the moles of the known substance (moles = mass ÷ Mr)

3Find the moles of the unknown substance (using the molar ratio from the balanced equation)

4Find the mass of the unknown substance (mass = moles x Mr)

30
Q

How do we calculate concentration?

A

Mass/volume or mol/volume

31
Q

Explain why a student’s results may not support the law of conservation of mass (3)

A

Carbon dioxide is a gas
The gas escapes during the reaction
So the mass at the end would be less than expected
