Which formula is used to calculate the number of moles from mass and Mr ?
moles = mass/Mr
Which formula is used to calculate the mass of a substance from number of moles and Mr ?
mass = moles × Mr
What is a limiting reactant?
the reactant that is completely used up in a chemical reaction
What is a unit for concentration?
g/dm3 or mol/dm3
Which formula is used to calculate concentration from mass and volume?
concentration (g/dm3) = mass (g) /
volume (dm3)
Which formula is used to calculate volume from concentration and mass?
volume (dm3) = mass (g)
/ concentration (g/dm3)
Which formula is used to calculate mass from concentration in g/dm3
and volume?
mass (g) = concentration (g/dm3) × volume (dm3)
How can you convert a volume reading in cm3 to dm3 ?
divide by 1000
If the amount of solute in a solution is increased, what happens to its concentration?
increases
If the volume of water in a solution is increased, what happens to its concentration?
decreases
What is the yield of a reaction?
mass of product obtained from the reaction
What is the theoretical yield of a reaction?
maximum mass of the product that could have been produced
Why is the actual yield always less than the theoretical yield?
reaction may be reversible
some of the product can be lost on separation unexpected side reactions between reactants
What is the percentage yield?
actual yield as a proportion of theoretical yield
