Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is empirical formula? | The simplest whole number ratio of atoms or ions of each element in a substance |
What are the 2 stages for working out empirical formula? | 1) Divide the masses by relative atomic masses 2) Divide all the answers by the smallest number |
What is molecular formula? | The actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule |
What are the 2 steps in calculating molecular formula from empirical formula? | 1) Work out the relative mass of the empirical formula 2) divide the molecular formula mass by the empirical formula mass |
What is relative formula mass? | The sum of the relative atomic masses of all atoms or ions in its formula |
What is conservation of mass? | The mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products |
What is concentration? | The amount of solute dissolved in a solution |
What is the equation for calculating concentration | Amount of solute (g)/ Volume of solution (dm3) |
What are the 3 steps for calculating a reacting mass? | 1) Divide the masse by the relative formula mass 2) Use the molar ratio to work out the moles 3) multiply moles by relative formula mass |
How many particles in one mole of a substance? | 6x1023 |
What is the equation for calculating the number of moles | Mass (g)/ Relative formula mass |
How do you work out the number of particles? | Moles x 6x1023 |
What is a limiting reagent? | The reactant that determines the amount of product formed |
What is Stoichiometery? | The molar ratio of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction |
What are the 2 steps for working out the the Stoichiometery of the reaction | 1) Calculate the moles 2) Divide the moles by the smallest moles |
