stoic Flashcards
hygroscopic
readily absorb water
what features must a primary standard have?
solid, hygroscopic, highly soluble, cheap, stable, pure
aliquot
specific volume of a solution (measured using a very accurate piece of glassware
titre
stuff we add to aliquot- measured in the experiment
compare graphs of ph v.s. volume of base/acid
inverse relationship between volume of base added and volume of acid added
equivalence point
one to one ratio of acid and base
why do we have to make sure glassware is not contaminated
might change concentration of solution
why doesn’t it matter when we add base into container of deionised water?
number of moles of the base doesn’t change (can get diluted in the pipette though
Atomic mass of an element is…
the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes.
The mole is…
The number of atoms present in 12.0 grams of carbon-12
Molar mass is equal to…
mass in grams of one mole of the substance
Homogenous
you cannot see the particles of solute dissolved in the solvent
Why do we need to create solutions?
Chemical reactions between 2 solids are very rare, because there is very little contact between the two (surface area is smaller)
How does “strong acid” describe?
much dissociation occurs.
How do you calculate the parts per million (PPM) of a solution?
EITHER
1. Find molarity (concentration in mol/L)
2. Multiply it by the molecular mass
3. Multiply results by 1000 (turn g/L to mg/L)
OR
1. Assume there is 1L of solution, so the concentration given (e.g. c= 0.0020 mol/L) becomes 0.0020 mols (n) and 1 litre of solution (1000 g)
2. use the number of moles and the molar mass of the solute to find its mass.
3. Use the formula
“concentration (ppm)= (mass of solute/ mass of solution)* 10^6”
What’s the difference between the measurements of molarity and parts per million?
Molarity: number of moles per unit volume
PPM: measure of proportion by mass
How can we determine when we can convert the calculation to the PPM measurement and when we can’t?
- can use when solution is diulte enough that adding the solute does not appreciably change the solution’s volume or mass
- if get over 1000 ppm, then ppm is not the right unit
Percentage mass/ volume
expresses concentration as a mass of solute in grams per 100 mL of solution.
Percentage mass/ volume formula
concentration (%) m/v= (mass of solute (g)/ volume of solution (mL)) *100
What is another way, other then ppm, mass/volume, and molarity, to express the concentration of liquid solutes?
percentage by volume
Percentage by volume formula
concentration (%) v/v= volume of solute (mL)/ volume of solution (mL) *100
In what circumstances is the percentage by volume presentation of concentration used most often?
In alcohol beverages.
