Q

Avogadro’s constant

A

1 mole of a substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms in it

20
Q

Relationship with moles and Ar or Mr

A

1 mole of a substance is weighs its Ar or Mr in grams e.g. 1 mole of H20 = 18g

21
Q

28
Q

Concentration equation (moles and volume)

A
  • Concentration = Moles ÷ Volume

34
Q

Percentage yield

A

Percentage of theoretical yield obtained experimentally

35
Q

Percentage yield equation

A

Percentage yield = (Actual yield ÷ Theoretical yield) x 100

36
Q

Percentage purity of a substance equation

A

Percentage purity = (Mass of pure product ÷ Mass of impure product) x 100

37
Q

Steps to ionic equations

A

1.Identify solids, liquids or gases ( can’t be changed)
2.Identify the ions of the aqueous substances
3.Cross out any ions that appear on both sides of the equation
4.Rewrite the equation without including the species you crossed out

38
Q

Spectator ion

A

An ion that remains unchanged throughout a chemical reaction

39
Q

Steps to finding ratios in a compound

A

1.Find the atomic mass of each element
2.Divide the percentages of the elements in the compound by their masses
3.Divide these numbers by the smallest value to find the ratio
