Flashcards
Titration
Titration
A technique used to find the unknown concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. This involves carefully reacting an acid and alkali until the indicator changes color, allowing for the calculation of the unknown concentration using the formula C₁V₁ = C₂V₂.
Percentage Yield
Percentage Yield
The ratio of the actual mass of product obtained in a reaction to the maximum theoretical mass that could be produced, expressed as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100%.
Atom Economy
Atom Economy
A measure of how efficiently a reaction converts reactants into desired products. It is calculated by dividing the molecular mass of the desired product by the total molecular mass of all products and multiplying by 100%.

Study Notes
The Mole
- A mole measures the amount of substance
- Equivalent to 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's constant)
- Particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons
- Molar Mass (Mr): the relative formula mass (Mr) of a substance in grams is equal to 1 mole
- Units: grams per mole (g/mol)
- Formula: Moles = Mass (g) / Molar Mass (Mr)
Conservation of Mass
- Law of Conservation of Mass: the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
- Closed Systems: No mass is lost or gained
- Open Systems: Apparent mass changes may occur due to gases entering or leaving
Reacting Mass Calculations
- Steps for reacting mass calculation:
- Write a balanced chemical equation
- Identify substances given and required
- Calculate moles of given substance
- Find moles of required using mole ratio from balanced equation
- Convert moles to mass of required substance using: Mass (g) = Moles × Molar Mass (Mr)
Limiting Reactants
- Limiting Reactant: The reactant completely used up in a reaction and determines how much product is formed.
- Excess reactants: Not completely consumed.
- Steps for identifying the limiting reactant:
- Calculate moles of each reactant.
- Use balanced equation to find the mole ratio.
- Identify which reactant is limiting (the one with fewer moles relative to the ratio).
Concentration of Solutions
- Concentration Formula: Concentration (mol/dm³) = Moles of solute (mol) / Volume of solution (dm³)
- Units: mol/dm³ or g/dm³
- Conversion between units: Concentration (g/dm³) = Concentration (mol/dm³) × Molar Mass (Mr)
Titrations
- Purpose: Determine unknown concentration of an acid or alkali by reacting with a solution of known concentration
- Key Formula: Moles of acid = Moles of alkali, C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
- Steps for titration:
- Measure a known volume of acid/alkali
- Add indicator (e.g., phenolphthalein or methyl orange)
- Slowly add the other solution from burette until indicator changes colour
- Record volume used and repeat for concordant results
Percentage Yield
- Definition: Compares actual mass of product obtained to maximum theoretical mass
- Formula: Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100
Atom Economy
- Definition: Measures efficiency of a reaction based on how much of reactants become useful products.
- Formula: Atom Economy = (Mr of desired product / Total Mr of all products) × 100
