Quantitive Chemistry Flashcards
What is the symbol of relative atomic mass?
Aᵣ
How do you work out the Aᵣ?
- Multiply Aᵣ with number of elements
- Add them all up
How do you find out the % Mass of an element in a compound?
% mass of an element in a compound = Aᵣ X number of atoms in that element / Mᵣ of compound X 100
What does the Aᵣ of an element mean?
the mean mass of all of the isotopes of an element.
Avogadro constant
6.02 X 10²³
Formula for mass (g)
Mass (g) = Mᵣ X Number of moles
What is the conservation of mass?
Mass is the same for the reactants and products - mass is conserved
Why might the mass increase?
One of the reactants is a gas
Why might the mass decrease?
One of the products is a gas
Formula for concentration
Concentration (gdm-3) = Mass (grams)/ Volume (dm3)
How many cm3 is there is dm3
1000
How would you convert 480cm3 to dm3
Divide by 1000 = 0.48dm3
Formula for volume of gas
Vol of gas (dm3) = 24 X Moles
Atom economy formula
Atom economy = Mr/ Mass of desired products/ Mr/Mass of all reactants X 100
What is atom economy?
Tells you how much of the mass of the reactants wasted when manufacturing a chemical
