Term
Avogadro's Number
Definition
6.022*10^23 particles/mol
Term
reactants
Definition
What is combining to form a product
Term
product
Definition
What is formed from the reactants
Term
Molar mass
Definition
g/mol
Term
Molecular Mass
Definition
Sum of all of the masses of the atoms in that molecule
Term
Formula Mass
Definition
The mass in atomic mass units of one formula unit of an ionic compound
Term
Moles to atoms
Definition
Divide by avogadro's #
Term
Mass to moles
Definition
Multiply by molar mass
Term
Moles of element to moles of compound
Definition
Chemical formula
Term
Moles of compound to mass of compound
Definition
Multiply by molar mass
Term
Moles of compound to molecules (formula units) of compound
Definition
Divide by avogadro's number
Term
Hydrolysis
Definition
the reaction of water with another material (The hydrolysis of nonmetal oxides produces acids).
Term
Combustion Reactions
Definition
a reaction between oxygen and another element or compound that produces heat, CO2 and/or H2O
Term
The Carbon Cycle
Definition
1)Combustion, Photosynthesis, and Respiration release CO2 into the air
2)Marine and terrestrial plants take in the CO2
3)They are consumed by marine and terrestrial animals
4)Detritus puts CO2 in the soil and sediment and they are transformed into fossil fuels
5)the cycle starts all over again
Term
Determining Empirical Formula From % Composition
Definition
1)Assume 100g sample
2)convert to moles
3)divide by smallest # of moles
[4)multiply by a factor that results in 2 whole numbers]
Term
Translating empirical formula into molecular formula
Definition
1)multiply the number of atoms of each element by that elements molar mass and add all resulting numbers to get the mass of the empirical formula
2)molar mass (found using mass spectrum) /mass of formula unit= multiplier to find molecular formula
Term
Empirical Formula From Combustion Analysis
Definition
1)Get moles of C and H from CO2 and H2O assuming 1:1 ratio
2)convert to mass to get g C and g H
3)the sum of these masses is the O in the sample
4)convert to moles
5)get mole to mole ratio
6)write formula
Term
Limiting Reactant
Definition
Reactant that is consumed completely in a chem reaction [amount of product form depends on this]
Term
Finding Limiting Reactant
Definition
1)Calculate the molar masses and then calculate the moles of reactants
2)Calculate mass produced if reaction is completed. Negative Number means that can not be the LR [which ever forms smaller amount of product]
Term
Percent Yield
Definition
Actual/Theoretical *100
Term
Theoretical Yield
Definition
Maximum amt of product possible in a chemical rxn.
