Random Flashcards
How does mass spectrometry work
- sample in vaporised form is inputted into a vacuum chamber
- into an isonisation area
- using an electron gun: accelerates electrons to become positive ions
- ions are accelerated
- detected where lighter first and then heavier
Nitrite
NO2 -
Sulphite
SO3 -2
Hydrogen carbonate
HCO3 -
Dichromate
Cr2O7 -2
Manganate (7)
MnO4 -
Nitrates and chlorides
Are always soluble
All carbonates are
Insoluble except for group 1 and ammonium
Mole definition
Amount of substance found in 12g of C-12, as one mole of substance contains the same number of entities as there are in 12g of C-12
How would you reduce percentage uncertainty in mass of residue
- use a mass balance to more dp
- use a larger mass of the product
How can you tell all water removed
Heat mass and record until constant/ unchanged mass to indicate all water has been removed
Ideal gas changing from m3 to cm 3 and dm3
- 10^6 and *10^3
In acid base eq, when given mol for certain vol…
Multiply mol by sf that volume has increased by and use
Uncertainty
Uncertainty of equipment/ measurement *100
If used twice like burette, *2
Relative formula mass
Mass of a formula unit relative to 1/12th the mass of a c-12
