one mole any gas at RTP same volume
2moles hydrogen + 1 mole oxygen = water H2O
moles
know number moles combining element
formula of compound deduced
Percentage Yield
chemical reaction
products formed
yield
amount of product
percentage yield = (actual yield / predicted yield) x 100
Percentage Purity
percentage purity = (amount of pure substance / total amount of substance) x 100
Chemical Equation
steps
write word equation
hydrogen + oxygen ---> water
sulphur + oxygen ---> sulphur dioxide
write symbols (elements) & formulae (compounds)
Balance Equation
same number of each type atom on both sides
2H2 +O2 ---> H2O
S + O2 ---> SO2
balance numbers ONLY infront of formulae
Diatomic Elements
hydrogen H2
Oxygen O2
Nitrogen N2
Chlorine Cl2
Bromide Br2
Iodine I2
radicals
An atom or group of atoms that has at least one
unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and
highly reactive. In animal tissues, free radicals
can damage cells and are believed to accelerate
the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
and age-related diseases.
Words
lead(II) nitrate + potassium iodide ---> lead (II) iodide + potassium nitrate
symbols
Pb(NO3)2 + KI ---> PbI2 + KNO3
Balance the nitrates
Pb(NO3)2 + KI ---> PbI2 + 2KNO3
balance the iodides
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI ---> PbI2 + 2KNO3

balanced equation
2Mg (s) + O2 (g) ---> 2MgO (s)
number of moles
2 + 1 ---> 2
Convet moles to mass
48g + 32g ---> 80g
magnesium Ar=24
oxygen Ar = 16
6g magnesium = 0.25 moles
0.25 moles magnesium oxide = 10g
example
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ---> 2NH3 (g) ammonia
Moles of solution
solute
The substance that is dissolved in a solution.
For solutions of fluids, the solvent is present
in greater amount than the solute.
