Study Notes
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Adjust the coefficients in front of chemical formulas to ensure the number of atoms for each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
Molar Mass
- The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
Mass from Moles
- Calculate the mass of a given number of moles using the formula: mass (g) = moles (mol) × molar mass (g/mol)
Molar Mass of Compounds
- Add the molar masses of all the atoms in the compound's chemical formula.
- For example, the molar mass of water (H₂O) is 18.015 g/mol (2 × 1.008 g/mol for hydrogen + 15.999 g/mol for oxygen).
Percent Yield
- A measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction.
- Calculate it with the formula: percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%
- Actual yield: the amount of product actually obtained in a reaction.
- Theoretical yield: the maximum amount of product that could be produced based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
Identifying Limiting Reactants
- The reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction.
- It determines the amount of product that can be formed.
- To identify the limiting reactant, calculate the moles of each reactant present and compare them to the stoichiometric ratio in the balanced chemical equation.
Maximum Yield
- Calculate the theoretical yield of a specified product by first determining the limiting reactant.
- Then use its moles and stoichiometric ratio to calculate the moles of product formed.
- Convert those moles to grams using the product's molar mass.
Percent Yield (with Actual Yield)
- Calculate the percent yield using the actual yield (the amount of product you actually got) and the theoretical yield (the maximum yield calculated earlier).
- Use the formula: percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals the number of atoms of that element on the product side.
- Use coefficients in front of each chemical formula to balance the equation.
Molar Mass
- The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of that element.
- It is expressed in units of grams per mole (g/mol).
Mass of a Given Number of Moles
- To calculate the mass of a given number of moles, multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the element.
- The formula is: mass = moles x molar mass.
- For example, to find the mass of 2.5 moles of carbon, you would multiply 2.5 moles by 12.01 g/mol (the molar mass of carbon), which gives you 30.025 g.
Calculating Molar Mass of a Compound
- To calculate the molar mass of a compound, add up the molar masses of all the atoms in the compound.
- For example, the molar mass of water (H2O) is 18.015 g/mol, calculated by adding the molar mass of two hydrogen atoms (2 x 1.008 g/mol) to the molar mass of one oxygen atom (15.999 g/mol).
Percent Yield
- Percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield of a reaction to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.
- The formula is: percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%.
- For example, if the theoretical yield of a reaction is 10 g and the actual yield is 8 g, then the percent yield is (8 g / 10 g) x 100% = 80%.
Maximum Yield
- The maximum yield of a reaction is the theoretical yield, which is the amount of product that would be obtained if the reaction went to completion with 100% efficiency
- It can be calculated using stoichiometry, the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Limiting Reactant
- The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of product that can be formed.
- To identify the limiting reactant, you need to compare the moles of each reactant to the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
Actual Yield
- The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually obtained in a chemical reaction.
- It is often less than the theoretical yield due to factors such as incomplete reactions, side reactions, and losses during product isolation.
