Topic 3- Quantative Chemistry Flashcards
Percentage mass of an element in a compund
Ar/ Mr of compund x 100
Moles =
Mass/ Mr
Empirical Formula
Elements Mass (/Ar) Moles (/smallest) Ratio
(Ratio tells you empirical formula)
Mass from Molar Ratio
Ratio (mol:mol)
Moles (g/Mr)
Actual Ratio (mol:mol)
Grams (Moles x Mr)
Concentration
C1V1= C2V2
/n1 /n2
Concentration (triangle)
Concentration= no of moles/ Volume
Step by Step concentration
1) find moles of known substance (mol=conc.x volume)
2) use molar ratio to find moles of unknown substance
3) find concentration (conc.= mol/volume)
Atom Economy
Mr of desired/
Mr of reactants X100
Percentage Yield
Mass of products made/
Max theoretical mass X100
*use the masses of the CORRECT product
Why is the percentage yield never 100%
- Not all reactants react to make a product
- There might be side reactions
- Product is lost when separated from reaction liquid
