quantitive chemisty (p1) Flashcards

1
Q

What is the law of conservation of mass?

A

No atoms are lost or gained in chemical reactions, therefore the total mass of reactants = the total mass of the products

Q

What is the value of 1 mole

A

6.02 x 10²³

16
Q

What is the mass of one mole of a substance equal to?

A

The relative formula mass (Mᵣ)

17
Q

What is a mole?

A

The amount of substance containing the Avogadro number of particles (6.02 x 10²³).

18
Q

What is the equation for mole?

A

Moles = Mass ÷ Mᵣ

19
Q

What is the equation for mass?

A

Mass = Moles x Mᵣ

20
Q

What is a limiting reactant?

A

The reactant that is completely used up and so limits the amount of product produced

21
Q

What is a reactant in excess?

A

The reactant that is not completetly used up in the reaction
