Resource summary
Chemistry C2.3
The Mass of Atoms
Relative mass of protons and neutrons = 1
Mass number = protons + neutrons
Number of protons and electrons are always the same
Isotopes - atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons
Mass number is the top number
Masses of Atoms and Moles
Relative atomic mass (Ar)is used to compare atom masses
Relative atomic mass = mass number
Relative formula (Mr) = mass numbers added together
Relative formula mass in grams is call one mole of that susbstance
NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 1 mole of NaOH = 40g
Percentage and Formulae
Percentage = relative atomic mass / relative formula mass x100
% of carbon in CO2 = 12 + 16 +16 = 44 12/44 x100 = 27.3%
Empirical Formula - simplest ratio of atoms/ions in a compound
Divide mass of each element by its Ar and convert to simplest ratio
Formula of hydrocarbon that contains 80% carbon: Carbon = 80/12 = 6.67 Hydrogen = 20/1 = 20 6.67/6.67 = 1 20/6.67 = 3 Formula = CH3
Equations and Calculations
Balanced symbol equations show how many moles of a substance are used e.g. 2Mg + 02 = 2 moles of Mg and 1 O
24 + 24 + 16 = 80g
1g of Mg = 80/48 MgO 5g of Mg = 80/48 x 5 = 8.33g
You can work in moles or relative masses for calculations
Instrumental Analysis
Modern instrumental methods - quick, accurate, sensitive BUT expensive need training to use
Samples need to be separated for compounds to be identified - gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometer
Comounds are split as travel at different speeds
Mass spectrometer gives the relative molecular mass from its ion peak
The Yield of a Chemical Reaction
Yield - how much product you actually make
Percentage yield - amount of product collected / maximum amount of product possible x 100
48g of Mg should give 80g of MgO so 2g of Mg should give 80/48 x 2 = 3.33 MgO Percentage Yield = 2.3/3.33 x 100 = 69%
High yields conserve resources and reduce waste - should waste little energy - reduce pollution
Reversible Reactions
Can only occur if products of a reaction can react to make the original reactants
Reversible reactions represented by double arrow
Ammonium chloride can be heated, reactants formed cool to react and form ammonium chloride
Analysing Substances
Food additives - to improve its qualities, can be natural or synthetic
Chemical analysis used to check safe additives have been used in food
Paper chromatography, mass spectrometry - methods
Paper chromatography - analyse artificial colours in food
Colours move different distances depending on their solubility
