Redox, Stoichiometry Flashcards
Oxidant
Electron acceptor
Is reduced, becomes more negative
Reductant
Electron donor
Is oxidised
Charge becomes more positive
% atom in compound by mass
(# atoms in compound x M(atom)) / M(compound)
Finding empirical formula from combustion data
Hydrocarbon - the only source of C in the CO2 released, and H for H2O
Note 2H per H2O
m(O) from mass difference if the compound has O
Hydrates define
Ionic solid with water of crystallisation - stable until heated above 100*C
Mass ionic hydrates is equal to
Mass ionic compound + mass water
Titration method with protons
n(H+) donated by acids = n(H+) accepted by bases
Concordat titre
Within 0.1mL of each other
ppm and ppb
Parts per million or billion
Alternative for concentrations
Converting between %, ppm and ppb
Write as a fraction, multiply both top and bottom by an appropriate factor to get desired 10^2, 10^6 or 10^9 in the denominator.
Method with gL^-1
Use density to convert mass to volume.
ppm and ppb alternate units
mgL^-1 = ppm μgL^-1 = ppb
Mass percent
Mass SOLUTE / mass Solution
Density
Mass solution / volume solution
molL-1
Moles of solute / volume of solution
