Concentration http://www.flickr.com/photos/lesliekeating/2074186549/
Todays Lesson • What Is Concentration? • Concentration Equation • Some fun work • Go through test answers • Some housekeeping
Last Lesson • So what did we learn last lesson?? • Can someone remind me??
Limiting Reactants • Yes – we learnt about limiting reactants! • A limiting reactant is the specific reacting chemical (be that element or molecule) which limits how much product can be made. • So to put it simple – when the limiting reactant runs out no product can be made!
Our Big 5 Limiting Reactant Rules! • Balance the equation • Find out the number of moles/mass you have for your reactants. • Find out what your limiting reactant is! • Look at the ratios. Make sure they match up. • Find out how much mass/moles of product you have
Concentration • According to the dictionary (I know your all thinking kill me now!!), concentration is: • thestrengthofasolution,espthe amount of dissolved substance in a given volume of solvent, usuallyexpressed in moles per cubic metre or cubicdecimetre(litre) • http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/concentration
Normal English! • Concentration is how many particles are present in a given volume. • Chemists use a volume called the cubic decimeter – abbreviated as dm3. • The unit of concentration measurement is moles per decimeter cubed or mol.dm3 • Now we have the fun task of completing some example questions (yay – now my life is complete!!)
Example 1 • I have 2L of HCl at 1 mol.dm3 , what mass of HCl would I have • It’s easier than it looks. • First, find out the number of moles of HCl • Second, find out the Mr of HCl • Third, find out the mass by moles X Mr • Workings out on next slide:
Example 1 Continued • I have 2L of HCl at 1 mol.dm3 , what mass of HCl would I have • 2L X 1 mol = 2 mol • Mr of HCl is 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 • Mass is 2 X 36.5 = 73g of HCl • It’s all done!
Example 2 • What mass of KCl would I need to make a 0.2 mol/dm3 solution ? • So how do we work it out? • Work out the Mr of KCl • Work out the mol and volume (we already have this • To find out mass, mol X Mr
Example 2 Continued • What mass of KCl would I need to make a 0.2 mol/dm3 solution ? • Mr of KCl is 39 + 35.5 = 74.5 g • Work out mol/dm3 ? It’s 0.2 mol/dm3 • Find mass. 0.2 X 74.5 = 14.9 g of KCl
Calculating Unknown Concentrations! • Here is a new formula! We will be using it a big for acid/bases. • C1V1 = C2V2 • C1 = Concentration 1 • V1 = Volume 1 • C2 = Concentration 2 • V2 = Volume 2
An Example • I have 25 cm3 of HF (an acid) at 0.8 mol / dm3. What mol / dm3 would I need for 50 mL of NaOH (a base)? • This is easier than it looks. Here is how we work it out! • Work out which is C1, C2, V1, and V2. • Manipulate the C1V1 = C2V2 equation.
Explanation • I have 25 cm3 of HF (an acid) at 0.8 mol / dm3 . What mol / dm3 would I need for 50 cm3 of NaOH (a base)? • C1 = 0.8 mol / dm3, C2 = ???, V1 = 25 cm3 , V2 = 50 cm3 • Equation C2 = C1V1 / V2 • C2 = 0.8 X 0.025 dm3 / 0.05 dm3 • Equals 0.5 mol / dm3
Small Worksheet • We will have around 20 mins to do this! • Then we will go through our test answers!!
Housekeeping • Next lesson – we will be learning titrations for acid/bases. It will help us learn the C1V1 = C2V2 equation along with helping to explain acid base reactions. • Please give all tests back – they cannot go home yet!!
