Q

Why is it important to consider atom economy?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Raw materials are expensive, if waste is produced = less profitable
  • Less sustainable - Large quantities of reactants -> small amounts of products
  • Waste products - expensive to dispose of
19
Q

Solutions to atom economy

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Use a more efficient reaction
  • Find use of waste products
20
Q

Factors to find out how profitable a reaction is

Study These Flashcards
A
  • % Yield
  • Cost of raw materials
  • Rate of reaction
  • Cost of maintaining the right conidtions
  • Temperature
  • Pressure
21
Q

What is percentage yield?

Study These Flashcards
A

Amount of product you get from a reaction

22
Q

Difference between actual and theoretical yield?

Study These Flashcards
A

Actual yield = amount we actually get
Theoretical yield = what you expect

23
Q

Reasons why we might not make as much product

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Reversible reaction - some products may turn into reactants
  • Side reactions may occur = unwanted products
  • Some lost during separation eg some left on filter paper
  • Some product may be a gas = escapes
  • Evaporation = if liquid
24
Q

How to calculate percentage yield

Study These Flashcards
A

actual yield (g)
/
max theooretical yield
X 100

25
What is concentration?
Shows how much solute (grams or mols) are in a certain volume of a liquid
26
Titration Method
1. Collect HCL in a beaker and label it 2. Rinse burette with distilled water and then with some HCL 3. Fill burette with the HCL beyond the 0 mark and let soolution run out until botto m of meniscus is exacltly on the 0 mark - all bubbles should be removed from the jet 4. Collect sodium hydroxide in a beaker and label it 5. Rinse 25cm3 pipette with distilled water and then with sodium hydroxide 6. Use pipette and pipette filler to transfer 25cm3 of NaOH into a clean dry conical flask 7. Add 3/4 drops of phenolphthlein indicator into the flask and swirl. Place conical flask on the white tile directly under burette 8. Record initial burette reading in the table below ( show be 0.00cm3) 9. Carry out a rough titration by adding the acid to the alkali in small amountd at a time.Swirl flask after every addition and continue until indicator permanently turns pink 10. Repeat titration accurately by adding the acid drop-wise near the end point. 11. Repeat titration until you have 2 concondant results (within 0.10cm3) 12. Record readings in table
27
How should you read the meniscus? Where is it?
* It is in a burette * the bottom bit is where you take reading * must be done at eye level * need 3 readings that are consistent
28
What happens to the conc. if you increase the mass of the solute and keep the volume the same?
Conc increases
29
What happens to the conc is the volume of the solution increases and the mass of the solute stays the same?
Conc decreases
30
What is phenolphthalein in acidic and alkaline solutions?
acidic + neutral = colourless alkaline = pink/red
31
How do you do titration calculations
1. Calc number of moles 2. Find molar ratio 3. Convert cm3 to dm3 = divide 1000 4. Calc number of moles using known conc using formula 5. Identify number of moles and using ratio find out no of moles for other reactant 6. calc conc using same formula | conc and mol fomrula (2)
32
1 mol of any gas takes up what volume?
24dm3
33
In a titration calculation, how would you turn moles/dm3 to g/dm3
multiply conc by the Mr
34
How can you balance equations?
Work out number of moles in a ratio and divide by the least
35
Name indicators for titrations
* Phenolphthalein * Methyl Orange * Litmus
36
Phenolphthalein
* Acid = colourless * neutral = colourless * alkakline = pink
37
Methyl orange
* Acid = red * Neutral = orange * alkaline = yellow
38
Litmus
* Acid = red * Neutral = purple * Alkaline = blue
39
In a reaction, one reactant has to be ____ and the other has to be ______
* in excess - makes sure of the other reactant used up * limiting - limits amount of products made
40
What is the rule of 1 mole of any gas?
* They occupy the same vol under the **same conditions of temp and pressure** * room temp = **20** , **pressure = 1 atmos** * Takes up a vol of **24cm3**
41
Formula for number of moles of a gas
vol of gas (dm3) / 24dm3
42
How would you decrease the volume in general?
place under high pressure
43
Why is having a high atom economy important?
* sustainable development * economic reasons * reduce waste
44
How would you use Avogadros constant to calculate the number of particles?
moles X constant
