15
Q

Why is the actual yield always less than the theoretical yield?

A

• reaction may be reversible
• some of the product can be lost on separation
• unexpected side reactions between reactants

16
Q

How is percentage yield calculated?

A

Actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

17
Q

What is atom economy?

A

measure of how many atoms of the reactants end up as useful products

18
Q

Why is a high atom economy desirable?

A

results in less waste/is more sustainable

19
Q

How is percentage atom economy calculated?

A

Mr of useful product/Mr of all product x 100

20
Q

How can concentration be calculated?

A

Moles of solute/volume(dm3)

21
Q

What is a titration?

A

method used to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution

22
Q

What is the end-point?

A

the point at which the reaction is complete (when the indicator changes colour) and no substance is in excess

23
Q

How should solution be added from the burette close to the end point?

A

drop by drop, swirling in between

24
Q

Why is a white tile used in titration?

A

to see the colour change better

25
Q

What is a titre?

A

volume of solution added from the burette

26
Q

What volume does one mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure?

A

24 dm3 or 24000 cm3

27
Q

What is the percentage yield?

A

actual yield as a portion of its theoretical yield
