Q

Why may the moles of water in a crystalline structure be calculated as lower than the true value when determining the formula of a hydrated salt?

A

If the salt is not heated for long enough, not all the water may have evaporated and be lost. Therefore not enough mass is lost and the moles of water is calculated as lower than the true value

Q

Why may the moles of water in a crystalline structure be calculated as higher than the true value when determining the formula of a hydrated salt?

A

If the salt has been heated for too long, the salt may begin to decompose into other products. Some of these products may then be lost causing extra mass to be lost. Therefore the moles of water may be calculated as higher than the true value

30
What is stoichiometry?
The molar relationship between the relative quantities of subtances taking place in a reaction (The mole ratio of the amount of each substance in a balanced chemical equation)
31
What is theoretical yield?
The maximum possible amount of product
32
Why may the theoretical yield not be reached?
* The reaction may not have gone to completion * Other (side) reactions may have taken place alongside the main reaction * Purification of the product may result in the loss of some product
33
What is the actual yield?
The amount of product obtained from a reaction
34
What is the equation for percentage yield?
percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
35
What is the limiting reagent?
The reactant that is not in excess and will be completely used up, causing the reaction to stop
36
What is the atom economy of a reaction?
A measure of how well atoms have been utilised in a reaction
37
What are the benefits of a high atom economy?
* It produces a large proportion of desired products and few unwanted waste products * It is important for sustainability as it makes the best use of natural resources
38
What are the assumptions when calculating atom economy?
It is based solely on the balanced chemical equation for the reaction and assumes a 100% yield
39
What is the equation for atom economy?
atom economy = (Mr of desired products / Mr of all products) x 100
40
What does the sustainability of a chemical reaction depend on?
* Atom economy * Sourcing reactants * Products * Percentage yield
