Balancing Equations

  • A symbol equation uses chemical symbols to show the number and type of atoms in reactants and products; a word equation uses only words.
  • Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the number of each atom must be the same on both sides — the equation must be balanced.
  • When balancing: do not change any formulae; place coefficients in front of formulae; do not split polyatomic ions (e.g., SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻) unless needed.
  • For combustion of organic compounds, balance carbon first, then hydrogen, then oxygen.
  • Use state symbols: (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous.
  • Some elements are diatomic in their natural state and must be written with a subscript 2: H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂.

Reacting Mass Calculations

  • The number of moles is calculated using: number of moles = mass of substance (g) / molar mass (g mol⁻¹).
  • Be clear about the particle type: 1 mole of CaF₂ contains 1 mole of CaF₂ formula units, but 1 mole of Ca²⁺ ions and 2 moles of F⁻ ions.
  • The stoichiometry (mole ratio) from the balanced equation links the amounts of reactants and products.
  • To find the mass of product: calculate moles of reactant, use the mole ratio, then convert moles to mass using mass = moles × molar mass.
  • In reacting mass calculations, you can work in any mass unit (g, tonnes, etc.) as long as you are consistent, because masses are in proportion to the balanced equation.
  • Example: burning 6.0 g of Mg (M = 24.31) gives 0.25 mol Mg, which produces 0.25 mol MgO (M = 40.31), mass = 10.08 g.

Avogadro's Law & Molar Volume of Gas

  • Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.
  • At standard temperature and pressure (STP) — 0 °C (273 K) and 100 kPa — one mole of any gas occupies 22.7 dm³ mol⁻¹.
  • Volume of gas = amount of gas (mol) × 22.7 dm³ mol⁻¹; amount of gas (mol) = volume of gas (dm³) / 22.7 dm³ mol⁻¹.
  • The stoichiometry of a reaction and Avogadro's Law allow deduction of exact volumes of gaseous reactants and products, e.g., 50 cm³ propane requires 250 cm³ O₂ and forms 150 cm³ CO₂ (ratio 1:5:3).
  • If gas volumes are not in the same ratio as the coefficients, the limiting reactant determines the amount of product.
  • To find the limiting reactant with gas volumes, divide each volume by its coefficient; the smallest result is the limiting reactant.

Concentration Calculations

  • Volumetric analysis uses the volume and concentration of a standard solution to find the concentration of an unknown solution, commonly via titration.
  • In a titration, a known volume (e.g., 20 or 25 cm³) is measured with a pipette into a conical flask; the other solution is added from a burette until the indicator changes colour; concordant results are needed.
  • Problem-solving steps: write the balanced equation; determine moles of the known substance; use the mole ratio; calculate the unknown quantity.
  • Moles = volume (dm³) × concentration (mol dm⁻³); concentration = moles / volume (dm³); volume = moles / concentration.
  • For monoprotic acid–base reactions (one H⁺ or one OH⁻ per formula unit), the shortcut C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ can be used, and volumes may be in cm³ as units cancel.
  • Back titration finds an unknown indirectly: react it with excess reagent, then titrate the excess; use mole ratios to deduce the amount of the original substance.

Concentration, moles and volume

Limiting & Excess Reactants

  • The limiting reactant is the reactant that is not in excess and determines how much product can form; the excess reactant is left over.
  • To identify the limiting reactant: calculate moles of each reactant, divide each by its coefficient from the balanced equation, and the smallest result is limiting.
  • Example: 10 mol C with 3 mol H₂ for C + 2H₂ → CH₄: H₂ is limiting because 3 mol H₂ requires only 1.5 mol C, leaving C in excess.
  • Example: 9.2 g Na (0.40 mol) and 8.0 g S (0.25 mol) for 2Na + S → Na₂S: Na gives 0.40/2 = 0.20 (lowest), so Na is limiting and S is in excess.

Percentage Yield Calculations

  • The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product possible from the limiting reactant, assuming perfect conversion with no losses.
  • The experimental (actual) yield is the amount of product actually collected; differences arise from side reactions, loss during transfer or purification, and incomplete reaction.
  • Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100.
  • Ensure actual and theoretical yields have the same unit before applying the formula.
  • Example: theoretical yield 6.5 g, actual 5.8 g gives (5.8 / 6.5) × 100 = 89.2%.
  • Example: 6.5 g Zn (0.10 mol) with excess CuSO₄ gives theoretical 6.4 g Cu; actual 4.8 g gives (4.8 / 6.4) × 100 = 75%.

Atom Economy

  • Atom economy measures how efficiently reactants are converted into the desired product; higher atom economy means less waste and a more sustainable process.
  • Atom economy = (molecular mass of desired product / sum of molecular masses of ALL reactants) × 100.
  • Alternatively, atom economy = (mass of desired product / total mass of all products) × 100.
  • In addition reactions, atom economy is always 100% because all atoms end up in the single product, e.g., CH₂=CH₂ + Br₂ → CH₂BrCH₂Br.
  • A low atom economy means more resources are needed and more waste must be managed, increasing environmental and economic costs.
  • Other factors for process efficiency include rate, quantities of catalysts and solvents, energy use, and economic efficiency.
  • Example: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂ has atom economy = (2 × 55.8) / [159.6 + (3 × 28.0)] × 100 = 45.8%.
