CHEM 1211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Limiting Reagent, Mass Spectrometry, Molar Mass
Document Summary
Incomplete combustion toxic: steps to balance chemical equations, write an expression using the correct chemical formula that includes one particle of each of the known reactants and products, check if expression is (cid:271)alan(cid:272)ed. If so, you"re done: choose an element that appears in only one reactant and product to balance first, choose the elements that appear in the next fewest reactants and products and balance them. Stoichiometric calculations: stoichiometry, c(s) + o2(g) co2(g) Co2: the mole ratios among the reactants and products in a chemical reaction, means one mole of c reacts with one mole of o2 to produce one mole of, must convert mass into moles. Mass spec: mass spectroscopy: analytical tool to determine the molar mass of substances. Limiting reactants and percent yield: limiting reactant, a reactant that is consumed completely in a chemical reaction, the amount of product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant available, calculations.
