Q

How do you find the Empirical formula?

A

1) Write down the % or mass in grams of each element
2) Divide by the atomic mass to get the ratio of atoms
3) Divide by the smallest number to turn the atom into a whole-number ratio

Q

What is a percentage yield?

A

The percentage yield of a product is the percentage of its theoretical yield achieved

17
Q

How can the percentage purity be calculated?

A

Percentage purity = (Mass of pure substance / Mass of sample) x 100%

18
Q

What is molar concentration and mass concentration?

A

Molar concentration = molarity (mol/dm^3)

Mass concentration = molality (g/dm^3)

19
Q

How do you find moles from concentration?

A

Number of moles = (volume of solution cm^3 / 1000) x molar concentration

20
Q

How do you find Mr from concentration?

A

Mr = Mass concentration / Molar concentration
