Chemistry Catalysts and Haber Process

A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed.

A method to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases using an iron catalyst.

Iron is a catalyst in the Haber Process.

Shorthand representation of a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas.

The substances that react in a chemical reaction.

The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

The number placed in front of a chemical formula in a balanced equation, indicating relative amounts of reactants and products.

A number in a chemical formula that indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule.

Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

A single reactant breaks down into simpler products.

One element replaces another element in a compound.

Ions in two compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.

The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.

Adjusting coefficients in a chemical equation to satisfy the Law of Conservation of Mass.

A number placed in front of a chemical formula to balance the number of atoms in a chemical equation.

Stoichiometry is the study of quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions. It helps us understand the amounts of substances involved in chemical reactions.

The limiting reactant is the reactant that limits the amount of product formed in a reaction. It gets used up completely before the other reactants.

The excess reactant is the reactant that is left over after the reaction is complete because there is more than enough of it.

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. It's expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

Molecular mass is the total mass of all atoms in a molecule. It's also expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

Balancing a chemical equation involves adjusting the coefficients in front of each chemical formula so that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

A coefficient is a number that appears in front of a chemical formula in a balanced equation. It indicates the number of molecules involved. A subscript appears within a chemical formula and indicates the number of atoms of a specific element in a molecule.

A mole-to-mole conversion involves using the stoichiometric coefficients from a balanced chemical equation to convert the moles of one substance to the moles of another.

Adjusting the numerical coefficients in front of chemical formulas to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

Numbers placed before chemical formulas in a balanced equation. They multiply all subscripts within the formula.

Small numbers beneath the symbols of elements in a chemical formula that denote the number of atoms of each element in a molecule.

When elements are inside parentheses, multiply subscripts inside first by the coefficient before outside coefficient distribution.

Ensure correct accounting for repeated elements by distributing coefficients appropriately to balance atoms.

A chemical equation where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides.

When balancing equations with parentheses, the coefficient outside the parenthesis multiplies everything inside the parenthesis first before distributing it the coefficient outside.

Balancing chemical equations follows the law of conservation of mass, ensuring that the same number of each type of atom exists on both sides of the equation.

The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It's calculated by adding the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.

The ratio of moles of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation. It represents the stoichiometric relationship between substances in a reaction.

This involves dividing the mass of a substance by its molar mass to find the number of moles present.

Using the mole ratio from a balanced equation and the molar masses of reactants and products, you can calculate the mass of a product formed in a reaction.

A process that uses mole ratios from a balanced chemical equation to calculate the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Mole ratios are derived from the balanced chemical equation and represent the relative amounts of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. They allow us to relate the quantities of different substances in a reaction.

1. Convert grams of reactant to moles using molar mass.
2. Use mole ratios from balanced equation to find moles of product.
3. Convert moles of product to grams using molar mass.
