Quantitative chemistry Flashcards
unit for concentration
g/dm3
if the volume of water in a solution increases what happens to concentration
decreases
if the amount of a solute in a solution is increased, what happens to the concentration
increases
how can you convert a volume reading in cm3 to dm3
divide by 1000
what is a limiting reactant
the reactant that is completely used up in a chemical reaction
which formula is used to calculate the mass of a substance from number of moles and MR
mass=moles x MR
which formula is used to calculate the number of moles from mass and MR
moles = mass (divided by) MR
give the value for avagadro’s constant
6.02x10(23)
what is a mole
mass of a substance than contains 6.02x10(23)
what are the 4 state symbols
-solid (s)
-gas (g)
-liquid (l)
-aqueous (aq)
when an acid reacts with a metal, why does the mass decrease
A gas is produced and escapes
when a metal forms a metal oxide, why does the mass increase
atoms from gaseous oxygen have been added
what is the conservation of mass
in a chemical reaction, atoms aren’t created or destroyed, only rearranged
total mass before = total mass after
