Study Notes

Potential Energy

Potential energy is a result of attractions between particles.
Particles under the influence of gravitational or electrical forces possess potential energy.

Mole Concept Conversions

1 mole of Magnesium = 24.30 grams
The basic formula for conversions involving the mole concept is: Unit given x 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 = Unit wanted 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏
8.5 moles x 𝟏𝟗.𝟎𝟎 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒔 = 161.5 grams 𝟏 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐞
0.45 moles x 𝟒𝟒.𝟗𝟔 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒔 = 20.23 grams 𝟏 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐞
The mass of a 256.0 ml sample of carbon dioxide gas at STP conditions is 35 grams.

Limiting Reagent

The limiting reagent is the substance that runs out first in a chemical reaction.
The substance that is not the limiting reagent is considered to be in excess.
