What are the two triangles used for calculations based on balanced equations
/\
/M\
——-
/N | gfm\
/\ / n\ ------- /c | v \
What is a limiting factor
During a chemical reaction, product is continually formed until one of the reactants is completely used up
How do you calculate the molar volume
Density= mass
Volume
What is the average molar volume of a gas At standard temperature and pressure
22.4l
Solids liquids and solutions are considered to……..when compared paired with gases
Have no volume
What does dynamic equilibrium mean for the product yield?
We do not get 100% product
What is the formula for percentage yield?
Py=Ay
Ty X100
What is theoretical yield
The expected mass produced from a known mass of reactant, which is calculated from a balanced equation
What is actual
The mass of desired product obtained which is less than the theoretical yield
The actual yield is less than the theoretical yield because…
The reaction hasn’t gone to completion i.e dynamic equilibrium
Other reactions are occurring that that compete with the desired reaction
Separation of desired products is difficult (i.e distillation)
The product maybe impure or lost during purification
Industrial processes require a high yield and high purity of products, therefore, unreacted reactants are recycling
Describe percentage yeild
Gives us information relative to the amount (%) of reactants that have successfully converted into products (During dynamic dynamic equilibrium reactions) it does not give information regarding by products formed
What can make by products costly to deal with?
If they are -Toxic -Corrosive -Flammable I.e by products harmful to the environment
What makes a reaction most desirable (in an Atom Economy sense)
Reactions in which most of the reactant atoms are converted into products
What is the formula for Atom Economy?
Total mass
of desired product
Atom Economy= __________
Total mass of
All reactants
A reversible reaction is…
One that proceeds in both the forward and reverse direction
Reversible reactions reach a state of dynamic equilibrium when…
the rate of the forward reaction is exactly equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
At dynamic equilibrium there is NOT 50% reactants and 50% products however….
The concentrations of the reactants and products was constant at dynamic equilibrium
Name the three ways the dynamic equilibrium can be changed
Concentration
Pressure
Temperature
What is the Le chatelier’s principle
If a system at equilibrium is subject to any change, the system readjusts itself to counteract the applied change
Consider the following reaction
A+B 🔁C+D
What would happen if you increased the concentration of A or B
According to le chateliers principle
The system will decrease the concentration of A or B
By promoting the forward reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the right producing more product (ie C+D)
Consider the following reaction
A+B 🔁C+D
What would happen if you decreased the concentration of C or D
According to le chateliers principle
The system will increase the concentration of C or D
By promoting the forward reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the right producing more product (ie C+D)
Consider the following reaction
A+B 🔁C+D
What would happen if you decreased the concentration of A or B
According to le chateliers principle
The system will increase the concentration of A or B
By promoting the reverse reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the left producing more reactants(ie C+D)
Consider the following reaction
A+B 🔁C+D
What would happen if you increased the concentration of C or D
According to le chateliers principle
The system will decrease the concentration of C or D
By promoting the reverse reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the left producing more reactants (ie A+B)
The effects of changing pressure on a system involving gasses is equivalent to ….
The effects of changing concentration
Consider the following reaction
3A(g)+B(g) 🔁2C(g)
What would be the effect of increased pressure?
According to le chateliers principle
The system will decrease the pressure
By promoting the forward reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the right producing more products
Consider the following reaction
3A(g)+B(g) 🔁2C(g)
What would be the effect of decreased pressure?
According to le chateliers principle
The system will increase the pressure
By promoting the reverse reaction
Moving the equilibrium to the left producing less products
Pressure has no effect when both the reactants and products….
Occupy the same volume
