Q & A

What is stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry is the science used to calculate the quantities of substances involved in chemical reactions, using units such as weight, volume, and particle count.

What is the significance of the mole concept in stoichiometry?

The mole concept is fundamental in stoichiometry, as it allows for the conversion between mass, volume, and the number of particles based on the relationships defined by chemical reactions.

How do you calculate moles from weight?

To calculate moles from weight, divide the weight of the substance by its molar mass (relative atomic mass).

What is Avogadro's number and how is it used?

Avogadro's number (approximately 6.02 x 10^23) is used to determine the number of particles in one mole of a substance.

What is the formula to find the volume of a gas at STP?

The volume of a gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) can be found by multiplying the number of moles by 22 liters per mole.

How do you calculate molarity?

Molarity is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters.

In the example provided, how many grams of KMnO4 are needed to prepare a 1M solution in 500 mL?

To prepare a 1M solution of KMnO4 in 500 mL, you need to weigh 79 grams of KMnO4.

What is the molecular weight of potassium permanganate (KMnO4)?

The molecular weight of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is calculated as 158 grams per mole.

What is the process for determining the mass of a substance needed for a specific molarity?

To determine the mass of a substance needed for a specific molarity, calculate the moles required using the formula (molarity x volume in liters) and then multiply by the substance's molar mass.
