Q

How to work out empirical formula

A

Step 1. note element and mass
Step 2. divide each by atomic mass
Step 3. divide each answer by the smallest number
Step 4. Not a whole number? Multiple the ratio by 2, 3 or 4
Step 5. This is the ratio for the formula - write formula

16
Q

Formula for volume of gas given number of moles

A

Volume = molar volume of gas x number of moles

17
Q

Volume

A

Space filled, unit of L (liters)

18
Q

Molar volume of gas at room temperature and pressure (SLC)

A

24.8 L/mol

19
Q

Theoretical yield

A

Maximum amount of product we could get from a given amount of reactants if we had no side reactions and all reactants collided successfully.

20
Q

Actual yield

A

Amount of product we get in a reaction.

21
Q

Percentage yield

A

Percentage yield = ((actual yield)/(theoretical yield))x100

22
Q

Molar concentration definition

A

Number of moles of solute per volume solution

23
Q

Equation for molarity (molar concentration) given number of moles of solute and volume of solution.

A

Molar concentration = (number of moles of solute)/(volume of solution)

24
Q

Titration

A

Titration is a technique to find the concentration of a solution.

25
Q

How to titrate accurately

A

Rinse to flush out potential contaminants.
The burette scale includes the volume of liquid in and below the tap.
Use clean flask to reduce contamination.
Pipette scale accounts for “last drop” to be left in pipette.
Need enough indicator to see a colour change, but not so much as to change the volume of the solution substantially.
White tile allows the colour change to be seen more clearly.
We can see where the level is between markings but cannot justify a precision more that 0.05 mL.
The trial run will give us an idea of when to go drop-by-drop. We go drop-by-drop to avoid over-shooting.
We repeat to get concordant results for reliability and to calculate the mean average for greater accuracy.

26
Q

Standard solution

A

Solution of accurately known concentration.

27
Q

Aliquot

A

Accurately known volume of the reagent solution with unknown concentration.

28
Q

Indicator

A

Gives visual indication of when reaction is complete.

29
Q

Equivalence point

A

The equivalence point marks the stage at which the reaction is complete, when neither reagent is in excess.

30
Q

End point

A

The end point is not the same as the equivalence point, but if care is taken the end point is the same as the equivalent point to the precision of the volume of one drop.
