Define empirical formula
the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
Define molecular formula
the number and type of atoms of each element in a molecule
What is a hydrated compound?
a hydrated compound is crystalline and contains water molecules
What is an anhydrous compound?
an anhydrous compound contains no water molecules
The ideal gas equation
pV=nRT
What does ‘p’ stand for in the ideal gas equation?
pressure in Pa
What does ‘V’ stand for in the ideal gas equation?
volume in m3
What does ‘T’ stand for in the ideal gas equation?
temperature in K
What does ‘n’ stand for in the ideal gas equation?
amount in mol
What does ‘R’ stand for in the ideal gas equation?
gas constant
Pressure conversions
kPa –> Pa: x10^3 Pa –> kPa: x10^-3
Volume conversions
cm3 –> m3: x10^-6 m3 –> cm3: x10^6
Temperature conversions
Celsius –> K: +273 K –> Celsius: -273
What is the atom econoy?
the atom economy of a chemical reaction is the percentage proportion of reactants that are converted into useful products
Atom economy equation
atom economy = sum of molar masses of desired products/sum of molar masses of all products x 100%
What does a high atom economy mean?
a high atom economy is efficient and produce little waste –> sustainability favours reactions with high atom economy - fewer raw materials are used and less waste is produced
Equation for percentage yield
percentage yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%
What are acids?
H+ donors - proton donor
Examples of strong acids
hydrochloric acid sulfuric acid nitric acid
What do strong acids do when dissolved in water?
strong acids fully dissociate when dissolved in water
Example of a weak acid
ethanoic acid
What do weak acids do when dissolved in water?
weak acids partially dissociate when dissolved in water
What are bases?
H+ acceptors - proton acceptors
What are the different types of bases?
metal oxides metal hydroxides metal carbonates alkalis
