Quantitive chemistry and chemical changes Flashcards
only basics use free science lessons to go over in full detail
how do you calculate the percentage mass of an element in a compound
atomic mass x number of atoms of the element / relative formula mass of the compound
how do you calculate the number of moles
mass in g / relative formula mass
in an exothermic reaction is heat given in or out
given out
in an endothermic reaction is heat given in or out
taken in
does an exothermic reaction transfer energy to or away from the surroundings
transfers energy to the surroundings usually by heating
does an endothermic reaction take energy form the surroundings or transfer energy to the surroundings
the reaction takes energy from the surrounding
this is shown by a fall in temperature
give an example of an exothermic reaction
hand warmers
self heating cans
give an example of an endothermic reaction
sports injury packs
explain a exothermic reaction
this reaction is exothermic because energy needed to break the bonds is less than energy released in bond formation
explain a endothermic reaction
energy released in bond formation
is less than
energy needed to break the bonds
are endothermic reaction energy changes positive or negative
positive +
are exothermic reaction energy changes positive or negative
negative -
explain bond energies
when we want to break a chemical bond, it requires energy normally endothermic
this then releases energy normally exothermic
every chemical bond has an energy value
this tells us the energy needed to break the bond
is breaking bonds endo or exo themic
endothermic +
why is it not always possible for a 100% yield
product is lost in transfer
give the equation of percentage yield
product that was actually produced / product that should of been produced x 100
why can we not achieve more than 100% yield
because it means you would have created atoms and that is not possible
state what is meant by an exothermic reaction
an reaction that releases energy
