(154 cards)
What is a molecule?
Group of 2 or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds
Summarise how you would obtain copper from an oxide of copper.
Place a known mass of copper oxide in the tube
Heat it in a stream of hydrogen gas
The hydrogen atoms in the gas react with the oxygen atoms in the copper oxide and form steam
The solid gradually changed from black to orange-brown
The excess gas is burned off at the end of the tube
After cooling , remove and weigh the solid copper
Heat again to a constant mass
How do you calculate the empirical formula using combustion analysis?
Calculate the mass of carbon:
Mass of CO2 formed x 12/44
Calculate the mass of hydrogen:
Mass of H2O formed x 2/18
Calculate the mass of oxygen:
Mass of organic product - mass of hydrogen - mass of carbon
Calculate the empirical formula
The mass of copper oxide before burning was 4.28g. After burning, the mass of be remaining copper was 3.43g. Calculate the empirical formula of the original copper oxide.

How do you calculate the molecular formula of a compound from it’s empirical formula?
Compare the actual relative molecular mass to the relative molecular mass of the empirical formula and then deduce the molecular formula of the compound
When can the term relative molecule mass be used?
When talking about molecules only
When can the term relative formula mass be used?
When talking about both ionic and molecular compounds
How do you calculate the amount of substance using the molar mass?
Amount (mole) = mass of substance (g) / molar mass (g mol-1)
n= m / M
What are the SI units for the ideal gas equation?
Pressure = pascals (Pa) Volume = cubic meters (m3) Temperature = kelvins (K) Amount of substance = moles (mol) Gas constant = 8.31 J mol-1 K-1
How do you convert:
kPa —> Pa
cm3 —> m3
dm3 —> m3
degrees C —> K?
Multiply by 10^3
Divide by 10^6 or multiply by 10^-6
Divide by 10^3 or multiply by 10^-3
Add 273
