summer work: moles I, organic I, and group 7 Flashcards
what is RFM?
relative formula mass; the relative atomic mases of the elements in the formula added up
what is the RFM of water?
rfm= (2xH) + (1xO)
rfm=(2x1) + 16
rfm=2+16
rfm=18
what is percentage by mass?
shows the mass of a substance that comes from a particular element
what is the percentage of H in H2O
%H=[(2xH)/(2xh+O)] x100
%H=[(2x1)/(2x1+16)] x100
%H=[2/(2+16)] x100
%H=[2/18] x100
%H=11.11111….
%H=11
what is a mole?
the measure of amount of substance
what is the formula for moles relating to Mr and mass?
mass = Mr x moles
what is the empirical formula?
the simplest mole ratio of a substance
what is the molecular formula?
the actual number of atoms in a molecule
if the empirical formula is CH2 and the RFM is 70, what is the molecular formula?
rfm of CH2 = 14
70/14=5
molecular = 5 x CH2 = C5H10
what is crude oil?
a mixture of hydrocarbons
what is a hydrocarbon?
compounds of hydrogen and carbon only
what is a fraction?
a mixture of similar hydrocarbons with similar boiling points
as the boiling points increase, do fractions become darker or lighter?
darker
as the boiling points increase, do fractions get more or less viscous?
more
what is the order of fractions by boiling point (low to high)
refinery gases, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, bitumen
what is the use for refinery gases?
fuel for home cooking
what is the use for gasoline?
fuel for cars
what is the use for kerosene?
fuel for aircrafts
what is the use for diesel?
fuel for trains
what is the use for fuel oil?
fuel for ships
what is the use for bitumen?
making roads
how does fractional distillation work?
- heated crude oil vapours enter the column
- vapours rise until they reach their boiling points, when they condense
- different vapours condense at different heights due to their different boiling points
- similar vapours condense together as a fraction
where is the fractionating column hottest?
at the bottom
what is the general formula for alkanes?
CnH2n+2
what is the formula for methane?
CH4
what is the formula for ethane?
C2H6
what is the formula for propane?
C3H8
what is the formula for butane?
C4H10
what is the formula for pentane?
C5H12
what is a homologous series?
a family of molecules that have similar chemical reactions, trends in physical properties, the same general formula
