Semester 2 Final Exam Flashcards
Empirical Formula
Simplest whole # ratio of atoms in a compound
Molecular Formula
Actual formula (which is a whole multiple of the empirical formula)
Molecular: H2O
Empirical: HO
Molecular: C6H12O6
Empirical: CH2O
Molecular: C6H6
Empirical: CH
How to find the Empirical Formula
1) Find the moles of each element
2) Determine the mole ratio (Largest/Smallest)
Calculate the Empirical Formula of a compound containing 13.43g of Al and 53.18g Cl
O.497 mol Al
1.50 mol Cl
1.50/0.479= 3/1
AlCl3
Calculate the Empirical Formula of a compound containing 52.14% C, 13.12% H, and 34.73% O.
- 35 mol C (2)
- 2 mol H (6)
- 17 mol O (1)
C2H6O
How to find the Molecular Formula from the Empirical
1) Given the molecular mass, divide by the empirical mass
Empirical Formula: CH2O
(empirical mass=molar mass=30)
Molecular mass=180
Ratio: 180/30 = 6
Molecular Formula: 6(CH2O) -> C6H12O6

Variables that limit a gas (4)
1) Temperature
2) Volume
3) Moles
4) Pressure
What is KMT
Kinetic Molecular Theory
The movement of Molecules/Particles
What does KMT involve?
Particle Size
**Volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space
Particle Motion
**Gas particles move in a straight line in all directions
**CONSTANT RANDOM MOTION
Particle Energy
**No energy is lost by collision of gas particle w/ walls of container
NO IDEAL GAS EXISTS
They approach ideal behavior under certain conditions of temperature & pressure
