Quantitative Chemistry Flashcards
True or false
Compounds have a relative formula mass
True. they do have a relative formula mass
What is Relative Formula Mass?
The sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms in a molecule( bottom number)
Formula : PERCENTAGE MASS OF AN ELEMENT IN A COMPOUND
(Aᵣ x number of protons) / (Mᵣ of the compound) x 100
What is a mole?
amount of a substance
What is the formula for moles?
moles=Mass (g)/ Mr
What are the 2 explanations if there is a different mass after a chemical reaction?
- If the mass is higher, one of the reactants is gas found in the air
- If the mass is lower, one of the products was gas that escaped
What is a limiting reactant?
the reactant which runs out first
What is the formula for volume of gas?
Volume of gas = (Mass of gas / Mᵣ of gas) x 24
What is the formula for concentration?
Concentration = Mass of solute(g)/ Volume of solvent(dm**3)
What is the other formula for concentration?
Concentration = Moles of solute / Volume of solvent
How do you convert mol/dm³ to g/dm³?
Find the concentration in mol/dm³ then convert the concentration using the equation:
mass = moles x Mr
What is atom economy?
The % of reactants that form useful products
What is the formula for atom economy?
Mass of desired product/total mass of products x100
What is the percentage yield?
The yield of a chemical reaction describes how much product is made
What is the formula for percentage yield?
Mass of product made / Maximum theoretical mass of product x 100
