Q

Why is the actual yield always less than the theoretical yield?

A

reaction may be reversible
some of the product can be lost on separation unexpected side reactions between reactants

16
Q

How is percentage yield calculated?

A

actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

17
Q

What is atom economy?

A

measure of how many atoms of the reactants end up as useful products

18
Q

Why is a high atom economy desirable?

A

it uses fewer natural resources, produces less waste, and is better for the environment.

19
Q

How is percentage atom economy calculated?

A

Mr of useful product / Mr of all products × 100

20
Q

How can concentration in mol/dm3 be calculated?

A

moles of solute / volume (dm3)

21
Q

What is a titration?

A

method used to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution

22
Q

What is the end-point?

A

the point at which the reaction is complete (when the indicator changes colour) and no substance is in excess

23
Q

How should solution be added from the burette close to the end point?

A

drop by drop, swirling in between

24
Q

Why is a white tile used in titration?

A

to see the colour change better

25
Q

What is a titre?

A

volume of solution added from the burette

26
Q

What volume does one mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure?

A

24dm3 or 24 000 cm3
