What is the formula mass?
The mass of a single molecule or formula unit
Example: The formula mass of a water molecule (H2O) is calculated as 2(1.01 u) + 1(16.00 u) = 18.02 u.
How do you calculate the percent composition of one element in a compound?
Percent composition = (mass of one element / mass of compound) x 100%
Example: For octane (C8H18), the percent composition of carbon is 84.09% and hydrogen is 15.91%.
What technique is used to measure the mass of molecules?
Mass spectrometry
This technique measures the mass of molecules by ionizing chemical species and sorting them based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
What is Avogadro’s Number?
6.02 x 10^23 units
This number is used to relate moles to particles, such as atoms or molecules.
How many grams are in one mole of carbon?
12.01 grams
The molar mass of carbon is equivalent to its atomic mass in grams.
What is the relationship between grams, moles, and particles?
Moles relate atoms to grams and particles
For example, 1 mole of CO2 (44.01 g) contains 6.02 x 10^23 molecules.
Differentiate between theoretical yield and actual yield.
Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be produced, while actual yield is the amount actually obtained from a reaction
Percent yield is calculated using the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%.
What is the formula mass of potassium carbonate (K2CO3)?
138.21 u
It is calculated as 2(39.10 u) + 1(12.01 u) + 3(16.00 u).
What is the percent yield if the theoretical yield is 50 g and the actual yield is 40 g?
80%
Percent yield = (40 g / 50 g) x 100%.
Fill in the blank: 1 atomic mass unit (u) = ______ g.
1.66 x 10^-24 g
What is the percent composition of hydrogen in water (H2O)?
11.19%
The calculation is based on the formula mass of water, which is 18.02 u.
What is the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction?
The reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of product formed
It determines the maximum yield of the reaction.
How do you convert grams of a substance to moles?
Use the formula: grams / molar mass
For NaCl, if you have 305 g, you divide by its molar mass (58.44 g/mol) to find moles.
Fill in the blank: The formula mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is ______ g.
44.01 g
What is the mass in grams of 2.53 x 10^23 iron atoms?
23.5 grams Fe
Calculated using the relationship between atoms and moles, and then converting moles to grams.
True or False: The actual yield can never exceed the theoretical yield.
True
What is the mole ratio of H2 to O2 in the combustion of methane (CH4)?
2:1
The balanced equation is CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O.
What is the molar mass of NaCl?
58.44 g/mol
What is stoichiometry?
Using the amount of one material to predict the amount of another based on the balanced equation
It involves calculations using molar ratios from balanced chemical reactions.
Fill in the blank: The formula mass of magnesium oxide (MgO) is ______ g.
40.30 g
What does the term ‘excess reagent’ refer to?
The reactant that is not completely consumed in a reaction
It remains after the limiting reagent is used up.
How many grams of MgO can be produced from 5.24 g of MgCO3?
2.51 g
Calculation uses the stoichiometry of the reaction and molar masses.
What is the theoretical yield of a reaction?
The calculated maximum amount of product that can be formed from given reactants
What is the limiting reagent when 1.2 moles of potassium reacts with 15 moles of chlorine gas?
K is the limiting reagent
K is completely consumed, limiting the amount of product formed.
