Stoichiometry Flashcards
602 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 is equal to what 4 concepts????
equal to 1 mole; Avogadro’s number; equal to formula mass of a compound or element; equal to volume of 1 mole of gas at STP.
How do you determine formula mass?
Look up atomic masses of elements in the compound and multiply number of each element by atomic mass and then add up all the subsets.
How does formula mass relate to the mole?
The formula mass is equivalent to 1 mole
What is the equation for finding a mole amount if you know the given mass?
Mole = Given Mass / Formula Mass
How do you convert a given molecule amount into moles?
Divide the given molecule amount by Avogadro’s number.
Can you go directly from mass of a sample to molecules?
No! You have to convert mass to moles (by dividing by the formula mass) and then multiply by Avogadro’s Number.
How do you convert moles of a gas at STP into volume?
Multiply the moles of gas by 22.4 L/ mole.
How do you convert Liters of gas at STP into moles?
Divide the Liters of gas by 22.4 L/ mole.
Can you convert Liters of gas at STP directly into molecules?
No, you have to convert Liters to moles (divide by 22.4 L/ mole) and then multiply by Avogadro’s Number.
How can you relate volume of gas (at STP) to formula mass.
Since 1 mole = 22.4 L of gas at STP and
1 mole = Formula Mass
Formula Mass/ 22.4L are equivalent concepts and could be used to set up ratios. This also relates to Density since the Mass/Volume is in proportion to the same units.
What do the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent?
The coefficients represent the mole ratios of the reactants and products. They also can represent volume amounts of gases at STP.
How can you use the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation to solve problems?
You use the given amount/ related coefficient and set it equal to the unknown amount/ related coefficient.
Why is the mole the “Heart of Chemistry”?
You have to go through the mole in order to convert mass to molecules or volume to molecules or mass to volume or any variation of those conversions!
What is the formula mass of water?
H2O : 2Hydrogen x 1 amu = 2 amu 1 Oxygen x 16 amu =16 amu ; 2 +16 = 18 amu or 18 g/mole
What is the volume of 25 grams of water
D= M/V so 1 g/ml = 25g/V ; V= 25g/ 1 g/ml = 25 ml
