Unit3- Quantative chemistry Flashcards
What is the conservation of mass theory
The total amount of the product is equal to the total mass of the reactants
Why must we balance equations
To make sure the reactant mass and product mass are the same because no atoms are gained or lost in a reaction
Ionic compounds form when metals react with what
Non metals
Metals form ? Ions
Most non metals form ? Ions
Metals form positive ions
Most non-metals form negative ions
How do you work out how many ions metals form?
What doesnt this apply to
Note which group they are in for example Magnesium is in group 2, therefore forms 2+ ions
This doesnt apply to the transition metals
How many ions do group 6 metals lose
How many ions do group 7 metals lose
Group 6 lose -2
Group 7 lose -1
What are the two non metals that have a positive charge
Hydrogen+
Ammonium +
In ionic compounds the charges on the ions have to cancel out to leave ?
An overall charge of 0
What do ionic compounds leave out?
Spectator ions
How would you write
Magnesium nitrate
Mg2+ NO3 -
Mg(NO3)2
Percentage by mass= ?/? X100
Mass of element / total relative formula mass of a compound
X100
What is a mole
A measure of the amount of particles in a substance
One mole of any substance contains the same number of particles. What is this amount? What is it called?
6.02 x 10 to the 23
Avogadro constant
The mass of one mole of a substance is its?
Its relative atomic mass or relative formula mass in Grams
Number of moles= ?/?
Mass of a substance in g / atomic (or formula) mass in g/mol
