So far I can remember the following equations:

no. of moles=concentration*volume

H=H_p-H_r

H=c.m.t

Q=I*t

[H+] * [OH-] = 10^-14mol^2l^-2

If you're having any difficulties feel free to post in the forum, PM me or email me.

I've put the above equations into a pdf file.

hey!

Any tips for calculations where reactants are in excess?

Right usually for this - there are many methods of tackling Chemistry calculations so you may find that this method doesn't suit you - you need the balanced equation and then you find the moles of one of the reactancts (using the formula n=c*v). From this you find out the no. of moles of the other reactant/product and then from all this info you can deduce whether the reactant is in excess or not.

If you're having any specific problems with this (like from past papers) just tell me the question and I'll be happy to help you.

If you prefer doing it the other way this may be of use to you:

moles ---> particles (Refering to Avogrado's here)
particles ---> moles
volume ---> moles
moles ---> volume

Hey!

I can't do the whole "Link" ad "Proportion" - I prefer doing it the old school way!

Thanks for your help, I might have to take you up on it!

Can anyone please help me with this queston??

Calculate the mass of substance required to make up the solution

50cm cubed of 4 mol l-1 KCl (aq)

I hope you can understand that, I couldnt find some of the keys for cubed, etc!

Use the formula:

n=c*v (as specified as above) - remembering the volume is in litres so we have to convert it.

So the volume is 0.05 (50/1000) and the concentration is 4

Substituting this in the equation gives:

n=concentration*volume
=4*0.05
=0.2 (Number of moles)

Now use the formula n=Mass/GFM:

The number of moles is 0.2
The GFM mass is (39.1+35.5) = 74.6g - Using a data booklet

Now sub these in to find the mass:

n=Mass/GFM
Mass=n*GFM (Rearranging the equation)
=0.2*74.6
=14.92g

If anyone disagrees with this answer please tell me where I went wrong.

Help please...im actually useless at chemistry

CaCO3 + 2HNO3 --> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2

A 2.14g piece of calcite was added to 50 cm³ of 0.2 mol l-

nitric acid in a beaker

Calculate the mass of calcite in grams left unreacted?

OK here is the answer:

1. Find the number of moles of Nitric Acid:
=>n=c*v
      =0.2*0.05
      =0.01moles

2. 2HNO3 <-> CaCO3
      2mol <-> 1mol
  0.01mol <-> 0.005mol are needed.

3. Find the number of moles of CaCO3 actually present:
=>n=mass/GFM
      =2.14/100
      =0.0214moles are present

4. So that means there are 0.0164mols (0.0214-0.005) are in excess.

5. Now calculate the mass in excess (the mass left unreacted):
=>n=mass/GFM
=>mass=n*GFM (Equation rearranged)
            =0.0164*100

            =1.64g

Eh, what do people find easier? Using PVC acid = PVC alkali rule for neutralisation or simply N=CV and N=CV then working from there?

I get confused between which one to use and often end up making a muck up of the question due to my panicking!
