R.2.1 Flashcards
Pyramid for mass, density and volume
mass/density x volume
What is an ideal gas?
A gas that obeys the ideal gas laws under all conditions
When does a gas behave most like an ideal gas?
-At low pressures
-At high temps
What is Van der Waal’s equation?
PV/nRT < 1
-If there volume of the gas particles isn’t negligible and there are attractive forces
Ideal gas law formula
Mr = (m/PV) RT
Define stoichiometry
Relationship between the amount of reactants and products
How can we use the mole ratio of an equation to determine the masses of reactant and products?
1) Balance equation
2) Mole ratio
3) Work out reacting ratio with m= m x Mr
4) Insert data from the question and solve the ratio
Steps to solve an unknown concentration after a titration
1) Find the moles: n=cxv
2) Compare the mole ratios n=n
3) work out x in n= x x v
Define back titration
Method used when you cannot directly measure the amount of a substance
How does a back titration work?
1) Add extra reactant
-Add more than what the sample needs so that some of the reactant will be left over
2) React whats left over
-Regular titration to measure how much of the extra reactant is left unreacted
3) Calculate the amount in the sample
-Subtracting the leftover reactant from what we started with can actually tell us how much of the reactant actually reacted with the sample
Percentage yield formula
experimental yield/ theoretical yield x 100
Define atom economy
measure of efficiency
% atom economy formula
molar mass of desired products/molar mass of all reactants x 100
