Avogadro’s constant
6.02x10 to the power of 23
Relative atomic mass
Relative mass of an atom compared to the C-12 atom
Relative formula mass
The sum of all the relative atomic masses in a compound
Moles equation
Moles=mass/ Ar or Mr
What is a mole representing?
The relative formula mass in grams
Limiting reactant
The reactant that is used up first in a reaction
Percentage yield equation
actual mass of product/theoretical mass of product x 100
Yield
The mass of product that a chemical reaction produces
3 Reasons why percentage yield isn’t 100%
-Reaction may be reversible -Some product may be left on apparatus -Some product may be lost in separation from mixture
3 reasons atom economy is important?
-Conserves Earth’s resources -Helps company make more money as less wasted energy and reactants -Reduces pollution produced
Percentage atom economy equation
Relative formula mass of wanted product/ sum of relative formula masses of reactants x 100
Concentration equation and units
Amount of solute (g) / volume of solution(dm3)
1cm3 in dm 1dm3 in cm
0.001dm3 1000cm3
2 ways to increase the concentration of an aqueous solution
-Add more solute to the same volume -Evaporate some water, lower volume, same mass
What is titration used for?
To accurately measure what volumes of acid and alkali react completely
What is the end point of a titration?
The point at which the acid and alkali have reacted completely
How to carry out a titration
-Use pipette and pipette filler, measure a known volume of alkali into a conical flask -Add a few drops of indicator, place on white tile and swirl -Pour the acid into the burette, record volume -Slowly allow acid into conical flask, swirl, until solution changes colour -Calculate volume of acid used, repeat until the results are concordant
Concordant
Two titres within 0.1cm3 of each other
Concentration calculation with moles
Concentration= moles/volume
Moles of gas calculation
Moles of gas = volume of gas / 24dm3
What is the volume of any gas at room temp and pressure?
24dm cubed
