Q

How does the balancing of a chemical equation relate to the Law of Conservation of Mass?

A

No matter can be created or destroyed, so the chemical equations must be balanced i.e. atoms in reactants = atoms in products

31
Q

A

Be ionic or dissociate in water

32
Q

Mass-mass stoichiometry

A

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction

Convert known mass to moles

Write the required mole ratio

Use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of the unknown reactant/product
Convert back to mass of unknown

33
Q

Mole ratio for mass-mass stoichiometry

A

n(unknown) / n(known) = coefficient (unknown) / coefficient (known)

34
Q
A
35
Q

What equations can be used for mole-mole stoichiometry?

A

n = m / M
n = PV / RT
n = c x V
n = V / Vm (at STP)

36
Q

Avogardo’s law

A

Equal volumes of all gases measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules

37
Q

What does Avogardo’s law mean in relation to stoichiometry?

A

Volume-volume stoichiometry can occur, with a volume ratio found in the same way as the mole ratio

38
Q

What are the assumptions when doing Volume-Volume stoichiometry?

A

Pressure and temperature are the same

39
Q

What is the limiting reagent?

A

Reactant that it is totally consumed when the reaction is completed

40
Q

What does the limiting reactant determine?

A

The theoretical amount of product produced

41
Q

How to identify the limiting reactant

A

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction

Identify what you know about each reactant

Convert known quantities to moles

Divide the moles of each reactant by the corresponding coefficient

Smallest value is the limiting reactant. Largest value = in excess

41
Q

How to predict quantity of product from limiting reactant

A

Use mole ratio of

n(unknown)/n(known) = coefficient (unknown) / coefficient (known)

42
Q

Theoretical yield

A

Amount of product theoretically produced

43
Q

Predicting quantity of the reactant in excess that will remain unreacted

A

n(excess)react / n(limiting) = coefficient excess / coefficient minting

Then,
n(excess)unreacted = n(excess)initial - n(excess)react

44
Q

Percentage yield

A

Experimental yield / theoretical yield. X 100%

45
Q

Atom economy

A

Molar mass of desired product / molar mass of all reactants. X 100%

45
Q

Green chemistry

A

An approach to chemical research and engineering that seeks to minimise the production and release into the environment of hazardous substances
