What is the correct equation for working out the percentage mass of an element in a compound?
Respuesta
(Relative formula mass x number of atoms of that element)/relative atomic mass of compound
(Relative atomic mass x number of atoms of that element)/relative formula mass of compound
(Relative atomic mass x relative formula mass of compoun)/number of atoms of that element

A mole is a system chemists use to count huge quantities of [blank_start]atoms or molecules[blank_end]. It is given the symbol [blank_start]n[blank_end], and is measured in a unit called the mole, shorthand [blank_start]mol[blank_end]. A mole of any substance contains the same number of atoms that are contained in [blank_start]12[blank_end]g of the isotope [blank_start]carbon-12[blank_end]. One mole of a substance is simply the [blank_start]relative atomic mass[blank_end] or [blank_start]formula mass[blank_end] expressed in [blank_start]grams.[blank_end]

Pregunta 3
Pregunta

Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
Which of these do you need to work out the limiting reactant?
Respuesta
A balanced symbol equation
The relative formula mass
The number of moles of each reactant
The number of electrons
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
Percentage yield is the amount of a produce you [blank_start]actually make[blank_end] as a [blank_start]percentage of the amount[blank_end] you should [blank_start]theoretically make.[blank_end]
Respuesta
actually make
percentage of the amount
theoretically make
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Why does a high percentage yield matter to people in the industry?
Respuesta
If a yield is know for a particular product you can work out how much reactant is needed
A higher percentage yield = less product to produce more = higher profit
It's easier to work out information
Raw materials are scarce and expensive and so must be carefully conserved
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
What is the correction equation for working out percentage yield?
Respuesta
Percentage yield = (Theoretical yield/actual yield) x 100
Percentage yield = (Number of atoms/theoretical yield) x 100
Percentage yield = (Actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Very few reactants have a percentage yield of 100% because:
