Topic 3- Quantative Chemistry Flashcards
Conservation of mass
No atoms are lost or gained in a reaction
Mass stays the same In a closed system
Relative formula mass (Mr)
Sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the numbers shown in the formula
In a balanced equation sum of the mr of reactants is equal to the products
Moles
Mol
1mol= mass in grams numerically equal to relative formula mass
1mol always contains 6.02*10^23 atoms
Limiting reactant
Reactant that is completely used up in the equation
Limits the amount of product
Yield
Not always possible to obtain the calculated product
Reaction may not go to completion
Product may be lost when separated from reaction mixture
Percentage yield
Mass of product made / maximum theoretical product × 100
Atom economy
Measure of the amount of starting materials that end up as useful products
Important for sustainable development
Percentage atom economy
Relative formula mass of desire product / sum of relative formula masses of all reactants × 100
Concentration
Mol/dm^3
Moles of gas at room temp
Equal moles of gases occupy same volume under the same conditions
20°C and 1 atmosphere pressure = gas is 24dm^3
