Q

Combustion Reaction

A

rapid reactions that produce a flame and most have atmospheric O2(g) as a reactant reacting with a hydrocarbon and they produce CO2 (g), and often H2O.

16
Q

Formula Unit

A

is the mass of a collection of ionic substances.

–NaCl for example

17
Q

Percentage Composition

A

the percentage by mass contributed by each element in the substance

18
Q

Percentage Composition of an element formula

A

(((Number of atoms of element)x(Atomic Weight of element))÷(Formula Weight of Substance))x 100

19
Q

Mole (mol)

A

the counting unit for numbers of atoms, ions, or molecules in a laboratory-size samples

20
Q

Avogadros’s Number

A

6.022 x 10^23

21
Q

Molar Mass

A

the mass in grams of one mole of a substance (g/mol)

22
Q

Procedure to find the empirical formula

A
Mass % of element
-(assume 100g sample)
Grams of each element
-use molar mass
Moles of each element
-calculate mole ratio
Empirical Formula
23
Q

How to find the Molecular formula from the Empirical Formula

A

Whole-number multiple = Molecular Weight ÷ Empirical Formula Weight

24
Q

Limiting Reactant

A

the reactant that is completely consumed in a reaction

25
Q

Excess reactant

A

the other reactants that are not the limiting reactant

26
Q

Theoretical yeild

A

the quantity of product calculated to form when all of a limiting reactant is consumed

27
Q

Percent Yield

A

relates actual and theoretical yeilds

28
Q

Percent yield formula

A

Percent yield =

(actual yield ÷ Theoretical yield) x 100
