quantitative chemistry Flashcards
conservation of mass
in chemical reaction, the total mass of products is equal to the total mass of the reactants
in conversation of mass…
- mass is kept the same because no atoms are lost or made
- chemical equation must be balanced
many chemical reactions…
involve solutions
concentration of a solution:
may be given by the mass of absolute per given volume of solution
relative formula mass
the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the number shown in the formula
(are shown in the periodic table)
changes in mass
happens when reactions are carried out in a non-closed system & include a gas that can enter & leave
mole
a measure of the n of particles contained in a substance
amount =
n of moles
mass of substance
————————————
atomic (or formula) mass
balanced equations
- show the n of moles of each product and reactant
- used to calculate the mass of the reactants and products
limiting reactants
-when 2 chemicals react and 1 is used up, it stops the reaction going any further
