Study Notes

The Mole

A mole is defined as Avogadro’s number, which is 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
It represents a very large quantity, exemplified by the idea that a mole of pennies could cover all U.S. expenses for a billion years or more.

Molar Mass

Molar mass numerically equals the sum of the masses of atoms in a chemical formula (in amu).
The formula to calculate mass based on moles is mass = MM × n, where MM is molar mass (g/mol) and n is the amount in moles.

Molarity

Molarity (M) is used to determine:
- The number of moles of solute in a specific volume of solution.
- The volume of solution that contains a specific number of moles of solute.

Writing Chemical Equations

Start by writing a skeleton equation for the reaction and indicating the physical state of each reactant and product.
Balance the equation by adjusting coefficients; subscripts must remain unchanged.
Prioritize balancing atoms that appear only once on each side of the equation.

Limiting Reactant Problems

Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the product yield based on the complete consumption of each reactant.
The smaller yield indicates the limiting reactant, leading to the theoretical yield of the product.
Calculate how much excess reactant remains after the reaction by subtracting the used amount from the starting quantity.

Percent Yield

Percent yield is defined using the formula:
- ( \text{percent yield} = \left( \frac{\text{experimental yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \right) × 100% )
Experimental yields generally fall short of theoretical yields due to product losses from competing reactions, handling, or separation processes.

Example of Limiting Reactants

Consider the reaction 3Sb(s) + 2I2(s) → 3SbI3(s):
- When mixing 1.20 mol Sb and 2.40 mol I2, determine the limiting and excess reactants as well as theoretical yields.
- When mixing 100 g of Sb and 100 g of I2, repeat the calculations to find limiting and excess reactants and remaining mass.

Experimental Yield Example

In a magnesium and iodine reaction producing magnesium iodide (MgI2), if calculated yield is 1.71 mol and the actual yield is 84.5%, determine the grams of MgI2 produced.
