Q

How is a change in state caused?

A

When the temperature increases/decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles does the same, resulting in a change in state

26
Q

What is atomic mass?

A

The mass of a single atom

27
Q

What is a chemical reaction?

A

A reaction in which bonds in the reactants are broken and bonds in the products are formed and vice versa resulting in an energy change between the reacting system and its surroundings

28
Q

What is concentration?

A

A measure of the amount of substance dissolved per unit of volume

29
Q

What does it mean if a reactant is in excess?

A

There is more of it than needed to react with all of the limiting reagent

30
Q

What is the empirical formula?

A

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound

31
Q

What is the relative formula mass (Ar)?

A

A weighted average of the atomic masses of the isotopes and their relative abundances of an element

32
Q

What does the structural formula show?

A

Visually shows the arrangement of atoms and bonds within a molecule

33
Q

What is a limiting reagent?

A

The reactant which is used in its entirety and will determine the theoretical maximum amount of product formed

34
Q

What is a mole?

A

The amount of substance that contains a number of specified species equal to Avogadro’s constant (6.022 x 10^23)

35
Q

What is a solute?

A

A substance that is dissolved into another (the solvent)

36
Q

What is a solvent?

A

A substance that dissolves another (the solute)

37
Q

What is percentage yield?

A

The experimental yield as a percentage of the maximum theoretical yield, determines the efficiency

38
Q

What is the yield?

A

The amount of product

39
Q

What are the state symbols for:
- solid
- liquid
- gas
- aqueous

A
  • (s)
  • (l)
  • (g)
  • (aq)
40
Q

What is atom economy?

A

The amount of starting materials that become useful products

41
Q

Do you want a high or a low atom economy?

A

A high atom economy as it means that less waste is created and the reaction has a high efficiency

42
Q

How do you calculate the atom economy?

A

Atom economy = (molecular mass of atoms of useful products / molecular mass of atoms in reactants) * 100

43
Q

What is the molar mass?

A

Mass of 1 mole of a substance (g mol-1)

44
Q

How do you convert from moles to mass?

A

m = Mr * n

45
Q

How do you convert from moles to number of particles?

A

Number of particles = n * Avogadro’s constant

Q

What is an isotope?

A

Atoms with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons

Q

What is the relative abundance of an isotope?

A

A measure of the percentage of isotopes present in an element

48
Q

What is the relative molecular mass (Mr)?

A

Combination of individual Ar values of atoms in a molecule

49
Q

What is the molecular structure?

A

The actual number of atoms of each element present in one mole of a compound

What is Avogadro’s Law?

A

Equal volumes of any gas measured at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules

56
Q

When can Avogadro’s Law be applied?

A

In stoichiometric relationships in which the coefficients correspond to the ratio of volumes of gases

57
Q

What is the equation for Avogadro’s Law?
