Chemistry C2 How much? 3.1 - 3.8

?
What is an atom's atomic and mass number?
Atomic numbers are the protons and electrons, the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons.
1 of 12
What are isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
2 of 12
How can we compare the masses of atoms?
We compare the masses of atoms by measuring them to atoms of Carbon-12.
3 of 12
How can we calculate the relative formula mass of a compound from the element it is made of?
One mole of any substance is it's relative formula mass, in grams.
4 of 12
How can we calculate the percentage of an element in a compound from it's formula?
The relative atomic masses of the elements in a compound and it's formula can be used to work out it's % composition.

What do balanced symbol equations tell us about chemical reactions?
Balanced symbol equations tell us the number of moles of substances involved in a chemical reaction.
6 of 12
What do we mean by the yield of a chemical reaction.
The yield of a chemical reaction describes how much product is made with the maximum that could be made (100%)
7 of 12
What factors affect a yeild?
Being left behind in the apparatus and difficulty separating the products from the reaction mixture.
8 of 12
What is a reversible reaction?
The reactants in the reaction can return back to there original state.
9 of 12
How do we represent a reversible reaction?
Using the ⇌ sign

What are food additives and how can we identify them?
Added to food to enhance taste and can be identified by using paper chromatography.
