18
Q

What is the equation for moles of a solution ?

A

no of moles = concentration (moldm^-3) x volume (dm^3)
n = c x v

19
Q

What is the ideal gas equation ?

A

pressure (Pa) x volume (m^3) = n x 8.314 x temperature (K)
PV = nRT

24
Q

What is a standard solution ?

A

a solution of a known concentration

25
What is stoichiometry ?
the ratio of moles in an equation
26
When is a reactant in excess ?
if there are more moles than needed to react completely with another reactant
27
What is a limiting reactant ?
a reactant that is not in excess and will be used up in the reaction
28
What is a hydrated salt ?
a salt that contains some water as part of its structure
29
What is an anhydrous salt ?
a salt that has no water as part of its structure
30
What is water of crystallisation ?
the water present in hydrated salts , the dot H2O part
31
How do you find the chemical formula from its empirical formula ?
1. use the number of hydrogens to work out how many moles of water of crystallisation there are 2. Work out how many oxygens are left for the salt 3. Write out the formula using ions you are familiar with
32
How do you determine the mass of water ?
mass of water = mass of hydrated salt - mass of anhydrous salt
33
How do you ensure that all the water of crystallisation has been removed ?
by heating to a constant mass
34
What is the equation for percentage uncertainty ?
% error = (error x no of readings / measured value) x 100
35
What is the equation for atom economy ?
( total Mr of desired products / total Mr of all products ) x 100
36
What is high atom economy ?
- large proportion of desired products - few unwanted waste products - good sustainability
37
What do industries need to consider when trying to be sustainable ?
- atom economy - starting materials - energy costs - percentage yield
