All stoichiometry problems start with a balanced equation. You must check for this! If it is not balanced, BALANCE IT!
Can change coefficients but CANNOT change subscripts Example ◦ 3S + 2 Fe Fe 2 S 3 S S S Fe Fe 2 S 3
Al + CuO Al 2 O 3 + Cu ____________________________
H 2 + O 2 H 2 O _______________________
Remember what an equation actually means ◦ Mg + S MgS ◦ One _____________reacts with one ___________ creating one formula unit of MgS But ◦ This also means that one mole of _________ reacts with one mole of ___________ to form one mole of _______ formula units. ◦ 1 mol Mg, 1 mol S, and 1 mol MgS are stoichiometry equivalents Equations and the Mole
What about the equation ◦ C 3 H 8 + 5O 2 3CO 2 + 4H 2 O ◦ Now, ____ mol C 3 H 8, _____ mol O 2, _____ mol CO 2, and _______ mol H 2 O are stoichiometry equivalents
As stoichiometry equivalents, they can be used in a conversion factor __________________ Conversion Factors ◦ One equivalent is placed on top and one on bottom ◦ Allows us to move from one compound to another in a balanced equation
Given the equation: MgCl AgNO 3 Mg(NO 3 ) AgCl What is the mass of AgCl produced if 24g of MgCl 2 is reacted with excess AgNO 3 ? What amount of MgCl 2 will react with 3.85 g AgNO 3 ?
So far we have been assuming that we have an excess of all the other reactants This is not often true….often you have a set amount of both reactants ◦ Each amount would lead you to a different amount of product ◦ Must use the number that is ___________
Given the equation: MgCl AgNO 3 Mg(NO 3 ) AgCl How much AgCl will be produced if 28g of MgCl 2 is reacted with 51g of AgNO 3 ?
Yield is the amount of product that you get from a reaction Theoretical yield is the amount that you should get based on using stoichiometry Actual yield is the amount of product actually attained during an experiment
Calculated by taking ◦ _____________________________________
Given the equation: MgCl AgNO 3 Mg(NO 3 ) AgCl What is the percent yield of Mg(NO 3 ) 2 if g of AgNO 3 is reacted to produce 47.2g of Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ?
