Chemistry 1.3

AS edexcel chemistry - formulae, equations, amounts

QuestionAnswer
What is an atom? The smallest particle of a chemical element
What is an element? A substance that can't be broken down into anything simpler
What is an ion? A species that has gained or lost electrons so has a positive or negative charge
What is the difference between a compound and a molecule? A compounds is two or more atoms of different elements that are chemically bonded together. Molecules can be atoms of the same or different elements.
What is the molar mass? The mass of one mole of a substance, ie Mr or Ar in grams, units are g/mol
What is a mole? The mass of an element equal to its relative atomic mass in grams, which contains 6.02 x 10^23 atoms - Avogadro's number. Amount is measured in moles
What is the relative atomic mass? The weighted average mass of an atom of an element divided by 1/12th the mass of a carbon 12 atom
How do you form an ionic equation? All aqueous substances are written out as ions as ions move freely in solution, but gases, liquids and solids remain unchanged. Spectator ions (ions that don't change in the reaction) are omitted from the equation. State symbols and charges included.
What are the solubility rules for ionic compounds? All nitrates are soluble, all sulphates are soluble except barium lead and calcium, all chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble except lead and silver, all carbonates and hydroxides are insoluble except ammonium, sodium and potassium
What is the molecular formula and empirical formula? Molecular: the exact number of atoms of each element present in a molecule. Empirical: simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a molecule.
How do you get an empirical formula from a molecular formula? E.g. C4H8O16, C2H7OH Decrease ratio to its simplest form - CH2O4, C2H7OH
How do you calculate an empirical formula from percentages/ masses of elements? E.g. when there is 60% carbon, 13.3% hydrogen and 26.7% oxygen Draw up a table with the headings: element, mass (g), mass/Ar, ratio. C3H8O
How do you calculate a molecular formula from a given empirical formula and molar mass? E.g. C2H5, molar mass is 87 Work out empirical mass, divide molar mass by empirical mass, increase ratio by this value. C6H15.
What is the yield, actual yield, theoretical yield and percentage yield? Yield is the mass of useful product obtained from a reaction. Theoretical - maximum mass of useful product obtained when all reactants react. Actual - mass of useful product obtained from an experiment. % = actual / theoretical x 100
What is atom economy and how do you calculate it? A measure of what proportion of products are useful and how much is waste. Atom economy = mass of useful product / total mass of product x 100
Metal + acid -> ? Salt + hydrogen
Metal oxide + acid -> ? Salt + water (neutralisation)
Carbon dioxide, salt and water is produced from which reactions? Neutralisation reactions - metal carbonate + acid or metal hydrogencarbonate + acid
Ammonia + acid -> ? Ammonium salt
Metal + water ->? Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
Number of molecules of a substance = ? Amount in moles x Avogadro's constant (6.02 x 10^23)
Amount of a substance = ? Concentration x volume, or mass / molar mass
Concentration of a solution = ? Amount / volume or mass / volume
Amount of gas = volume / gas molar volume. At RTP this is volume / 24
What is a gas molar volume? Volume occupied by 1 mol of gas molecules
What is Avogrado's law for gases? 1 mol of any gas occupies the same volume under particular temperature and pressure
In a reaction between methane and oxygen 60 cm3 of methane was burnt with 60 cm3 of oxygen at RTP. What is the composition of the gas mixture produced? Final volume = 60 cm3 (30 cm3 CO2 + 30 cm3 CH4)
What is a hydrated salt and an anhydrous salt? Hydrated - contains water molecules within the lattice. Anhydrous - no water present.
How do you work out the relative number of water molecules e.g. CuSH6O7 CuSO4.3H2O. Use number of hydrogen atoms to work out relative number of water molecules

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
