Unit 1: Quantitative aspects of chemical change Summary • Relative formula mass or relative molecular mass: the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula or molecule. • Mole refers to the amount of substance that contains the same number of elementary units as the number of atoms in 12,0 g of carbon-12. • Avogadro’s number = 6,02 × 1023 particles. • 1 mole = relative formula mass in g = 22,4 dm3 for gasses at STP = 6,02 × 1023 particles. m • To calculate mole: n = M • Concentration is the amount of solute present in a given quantity of solvent n (c = V ) • An empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound. • A molecular formula is the total number of atoms of each element present in a compound. • The limiting reactant is the substance that will be used up totally during a reaction. The limiting reactant determines the amount of product formed. • Theoretical percentage yield refers to the amount of product formed when the limiting reactant has reacted completely. • Actual yield is the amount of product that is in practice obtained from a chemical reaction. actual yield – percentage yield = theoretical yield × 100% mass of pure product – percentage purity = mass of impure product × 100% 30 S T U DY & M A S T E R P H Y S I C A L S C I E N C E S S U P P O R T PA C K G R A D E 1 1

Unit 2: Energy and chemical change Summary • Enthalpy change is the energy change that occurs when energy is transferred from or to a system at constant pressure (ΔH = Hproducts – Hreactants) • Exothermic reactions give out energy (ΔH < 0); endothermic reactions take heat in (ΔH > 0) • Bond energy refers to the amount of energy required to break a particular type of bond in a molecule; the higher the energy, the stronger the bond. • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a reaction. • We show energy changes for a reaction in an energy profile or energy level diagram. 34 S T U DY & M A S T E R P H Y S I C A L S C I E N C E S S U P P O R T PA C K G R A D E 1 1

Unit 3: Types of reactions Summary • Brønsted acid is a proton donor. Brønsted base: a proton acceptor. • An acid forms its conjugate base when it has donated a proton; a base forms its conjugate acid after it has accepted a proton. • An ampholyte is a substance that can act as an acid or a base, e.g. water. • Neutralisation is a reaction between and acid and a base; the products can include a salt, water and carbon dioxide. • Indicators are coloured substances that change colour at different pH values. • The oxidation number signifies the number of charges the atom would have in a molecule if electrons were transferred completely. • Electrons are transferred during redox reactions. • During an oxidation half-reaction, electrons are lost. A reduction half-reaction refers to a gain of electrons. • An oxidation half-reaction is loss of electrons. A reduction half-reaction refers to gain of electrons. • The reactant that is reduced is the oxidising agent. The reactant that is oxidised is the reducing agent. • During oxidation, the oxidation number increases. During reduction, the oxidation number decreases. 38 S T U DY & M A S T E R P H Y S I C A L S C I E N C E S S U P P O R T PA C K G R A D E 1 1
