amount of substances (phys I) Flashcards
(38 cards)
simple molecular elements written as a formula
*most have a 2 written after the symbol eg. H2, K2, Cl2
*phosphorus = P4, sulfur = S8
metal + acid —>
salt + hydrogen
metal oxide/hydroxide + acid —>
salt + water
metal carbonate/hydrogencarbonate + acid —>
salt + water + carbon dioxide
ammonia + acid —>
ammonium salt
metal + water —>
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate —>
metal oxide + carbon dioxide

moles =
mass/Mr
no. of particles =
no. of moles x (6.023 x 10^23)
calculating max. theoretical mass
1) calculate no. of moles of substance with known mass (mass/Mr) —> dont incl. big numbers
2) use stoichiometric numbers to get molar ratio & multiply by no. of moles (s. no. of desired substance on top of fraction)
3) multiply no. of moles by Mr of desired substance
% A.E =
- (mass of desired product/mass of total products) x 100
- include stoichiometric no.s
% yield =
(mass of product obtained/max. theoretical mass of product) x 100
reasons for yield being lost
- reaction is reversible
- some reactants may react in side reactions
- reaction may not have gone to completion —> heat to constant mass!
density =
mass / volume
Ideal Gas Equation
pV = nRT
*p in Pa
*V in m^3
*R is 8.31 J/mol/K
*T in Kelvins
