1
Q

What is a mole?

A

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon-12 isotope

How do you calculate percentage uncertainty?

A
24
Q

What are potential sources of error?

A

Random Error (Unpredictable changes)

  • Volume of Gas collected could vary from different times of day
  • Changed in temperature throughout the day may lead to different masses

Systematic Errors (Faults in apparatus)

  • Uncalibrated pipette during manufacturing where the meniscus line is incorrect
  • Measuring cylinder may have incorrect measurements proportional to the actual size of the cylinder
25
Q

How can you minimise the percentage error?

A
  • Use better equipment like gas syringe over water trough and measuring cylinder
  • Use more reactant to create more product which can be measured more accurately
  • Use smaller increment versions of equipment like 3d.p balance over 2.dp balance
26
Q

Why is actual yield always less than theoretical yield?

A

The mass of product is never the maximum possible because:

  • Reversible reactions may be incomplete
  • Unintended side reactions create unwanted products
  • Further purification of product leads to a loss of product

Q

What’s the Definition for Atom Economy?

A

Atom Economy is the measure of proportion of reactant atoms that become part of the desired product.

31
Q

How does atom economy work?

A

The RED PROCESS is inefficient because there are multiple products made.

The GREEN PROCESS is efficient because all the reactants form the only desired product.

32
Q

What the links between reaction types and atom economy?

A

Atom Economy in Different Reaction Types

  • Addition = 100% atom economy
  • Elimination + Substitution = Lower atom economies
  • Multistep = Lower Atom Economies
