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.
