Card preview (20)

#1
Front (Question)

Relative isotopic mass

Back (Answer)

The mass of an isotope relative to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

#2
Front (Question)

Relative atomic mass (Ar)

Back (Answer)

The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

#3
Front (Question)

Mole

Back (Answer)

The amount of substance containing as many particles as there are atoms in 12g of the carbon-12 isotope. This is 6.02 x 10^23 particles.

#4
Front (Question)

Molar Mass

Back (Answer)

The mass of one mole of a substance in grams.

#5
Front (Question)

Empirical formula

Back (Answer)

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.

#6
Front (Question)

Molecular formula

Back (Answer)

The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.

#7
Front (Question)

Percentage yield

Back (Answer)

The actual yield divided by the theoretical yield x100%

#8
Front (Question)

Atom economy

Back (Answer)

Measure of how well atoms have been utilised. Sum of molar masses of desired products/ Sum of molar masses of all products x100%

#9
Front (Question)

Ionic bond

Back (Answer)

Strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions

#10
Front (Question)

Covalent bond

Back (Answer)

The strong electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms

#11
Front (Question)

Polar covalent bond

Back (Answer)

A covalent bond where the bonded electron pair are not shared equally between bonded atoms. Due to differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms.

#12
Front (Question)

Hydrogen bond

Back (Answer)

a strong dipole-dipole attraction between an electron-deficient hydrogen atom and a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom on a different molecule

#13
Front (Question)

Electronegativity

Back (Answer)

A measure of the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond.

#14
Front (Question)

Ideal gas equation

Back (Answer)

pV = nRT p = pressure *(Pa) V = volume (m³) n = moles of gas (mol) R = gas constant (8.314 JK-¹mol-¹) T = temperature (K)

#15
Front (Question)

Hydrogen ion

Back (Answer)

An ion with no electrons and 1 proton

#16
Front (Question)

Difference between strong and weak acid

Back (Answer)

Strong - Releases all of its hydrogen ions into the solution and completely disassociates, this is irreversible Weak - Only releases a small number of its hydrogen ions into the solution and partially disassociates, this is reversible

#17
Front (Question)

Base

Back (Answer)

A compound that neutralises an acid, by accepting a hydrogen ion to form a salt

#18
Front (Question)

Alkali

Back (Answer)

A type of base that dissolves in water to form hydroxide ions

#19
Front (Question)

Salt

Back (Answer)

The product of a reaction in which the H+ ions from the acid are replaced by the metal or ammonium ions

#20
Front (Question)

Acid

Back (Answer)

A proton (H+ ion) donor
