Q

How much will one mole of Carbon weigh?

A

the relative atomic mass of carbon is 12, one mole of something weighs the same as its atomic mass so it weighs 12g.

Q

What are the two explanations for if the mass changes in a reaction (against the conservation of mass law)

A
  • if the mass increases, one of the reactants is a gas that is found in the air and all the products are solids, liquids or aqueous
  • if the mass decreases, one of the products is a gas and all the reactants are solids, liquid or aqueous.

Q

What are the three reasons for a chemical reaction not producing all the products you want it to?

A

Some reactions don’t go to completion because they are reversible
Some product may be lost when it is separated, eg left on the apparatus
Some of the reactants may react in different ways

Q

True of false: if there is only one product in the reaction, the atom economy is 100%

A

True

17
Q

What is atom economy?

A

A mathematical way of explaining how good a reaction will be at making a useful product

18
Q

What does a higher atom economy mean?

A

Lots of useful products

19
Q

What does the atom economy do?

A

Compares the formula mass of the useful products with the formula mass of the reactants

20
Q

How do you work out the % atom economy?

A

Sum of the Mr or useful products
Divided by
Sum of the Mr of all reactants
X 100

21
Q

Why is atom economy important?

A

It shows is how much useful product we will get from a specific reaction and how much waste
Could be for economic reasons or sustainability
Helps scientist find best reaction pathway that will make the most useful products

22
Q

What is the volume of one mole of any substance?

A

24 litres

23
Q

What does the volume of a gas vary with?

A

The temperature and pressure

24
Q

The higher the temperature of a gas, the ______ the volume

A

Greater

25
Q

The higher the pressure of a gas, the ______ it’s volume

A

Smaller

26
Q

If the temperature and pressure of a gas is the same, a mole of that gas will have _______ volume

A

The same

27
Q

What is the formula triangle for calculating volumes

A

Volume (in dm cubed) on top

24 X moles on the bottom

28
Q

What is the Avogadro constant?

A

6.02 x 10 (to the power of) 23

29
Q

What does the term limiting reactant mean?

A

The limiting reactant is completely used up in a reaction

It’s quantity limits the amount of product that can be formed

30
Q

What does the concentration of a solution mean?

A

The amount of a substance in a given volume of a solution
