Pure substance
matter is anything that takes up space
Elements
atoms all having the same numbers of protons
Molecules
two or more elements chemically joined together
Compounds
Two or more different elements chemically joined together in a fixed ratio
Mixtures
a combinations of pure substances
aqueous
dissolved in a solvent
physical change
no new substances are produced
Chemical change
new chemical substance are formed
mole
the amount of substances that contains the same number of specified particles as there are atoms in 12g of carbon-12
mole symbol
n
avogardos number
6.02 x 10 to the power of 23
relative atomic mass
the average mass of all isotopes of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of carbon 12 atom
relative formal mass
the mass of a molecule compared to 1/12 the mass of C-12 atom
number of moles
n = m/M
percentage composition
%composition by mass of element = molar mass of x/ molar mass of the compound
Empirical formula
the formula of a compounds that shows the lowest whole number ratio of each type of atom
Step to calculate EF
- Write the elements present in the compound
- Write each elements % composition or mass
- divide the % or mass by the relative atomic mass and calculate the ratio
- divide each ratio by the smallest ratio above to get a whole number ratio
- express as empirical formula
molecular formula
the formula of a compound that shows the actual number of each type of atom in the molecule
Atom economy
chemical reaction is a measure of the amount of starting material that become useful products
calculate atom economy
atom economy = total mass of desired products/ total mass of all products or reductants x100
Limiting Reactant
reactant that will be used up first in a chemical reaction
how to determine limiting reactant
divide the moles by the leading co-efficient
Percentage yield equation
percentage yield(%)= actual yield/ theoretical yield x100
percentage yield
amount of product produced experimentally compared to the theoretical waver.
