topic 5 equations Flashcards
perectnage composition equation
total mass of an element in compound /total mass of compound * 100
number of mol
volume in dm3 / 24
uncertainty
n.o measurements x uncertainty / reading
x100
ways to reduce uncertainty
use more precise equipemnt of manipulate experiemtn so that value would be bigger eg dilue acid for titration
systematic error
same everytime you repeat experiement due to set up
random error
makes results a little bit different each time you repeat experiment
what does repeating experiemtns do
reduces effect of random error
percentgae error
true - experimental / true x100
why is actual yield less than theoretical yield
loss of chemical during pouring or filtering
incomplete combustion
side reactants
reversible reation
impuritites in reactant s
what is atom economy
measure of proportion of reactant atoms that become part of desired product
ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
p= pascals
v= meters cubed
r =8.31
t= kelvin
