1 STOICHIOMETRY TUTORIAL Paul Gilletti

2 Instructions: This is a work along tutorial. It is posted to the blog. Each time you click the mouse or touch the space bar on your computer, one step of the problem solving occurs. Pressing the PAGE UP key will backup the steps. Get a pencil and paper, a periodic table and a calculator, and let’s get to work. Be sure to write down ALL steps as we do them!!

3 (1-2-3) General Approach For Problem Solving: 1. Clearly identify the Goal or Goals and the UNITS involved. (What are you trying to do?) 2. Determine what is given and the UNITS. 3. Use conversion factors (which are really ratios) and their UNITS to CONVERT what is given into what is desired.

4 Sample problem for general problem solving. Sam has entered into a 10 mile marathon. Use ALL of the following conversions (ratios) to determine how many inches there are in the race ft = 1 mile; 12 inches = 1 ft 1. What is the goal and what units are needed? Goal = ______ inches 2. What is given and its units? 10 miles 3. Convert using factors (ratios). 10 miles = inches Units match Given Goal Convert Menu

5 Converting grams to moles. Determine how many moles there are in 5.17 grams of Fe(C 5 H 5 ) 2. Goal = moles Fe(C 5 H 5 ) 2 Given 5.17 g Fe(C 5 H 5 ) 2 Use the molar mass to convert grams to moles. Fe(C 5 H 5 ) 2 2 x 5 x = x 5 x = x = units match

6 Stoichiometry (more working with ratios) Ratios are found within a chemical equation. 2HCl + Ba(OH) 2  2H 2 O + BaCl moles of HCl react with 1 mole of Ba(OH) 2 to form 2 moles of H 2 O and 1 mole of BaCl 2 coefficients give MOLAR RATIOS

7 When N 2 O 5 is heated, it decomposes: 2N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) a. How many moles of NO 2 can be produced from 4.3 moles of N 2 O 5 ? = moles NO mol N2O5N2O5 8.6 b. How many moles of O 2 can be produced from 4.3 moles of N 2 O 5 ? = mole O mol N2O5N2O N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 4.3 mol? mol 2N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 4.3 mol ? mol Mole – Mole Conversions Units match

8 When N 2 O 5 is heated, it decomposes: 2N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) a. How many moles of N 2 O 5 were used if 210g of NO 2 were produced? = moles N 2 O g NO b. How many grams of N 2 O 5 are needed to produce 75.0 grams of O 2 ? = grams N 2 O g O2O2 506 gram ↔ mole and gram ↔ gram conversions 2N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 210g? moles 2N 2 O 5 (g)  4NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 75.0 g ? grams Units match

9 Aluminum is an active metal that when placed in hydrochloric acid produces hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride. How many grams of aluminum chloride can be produced when 3.45 grams of aluminum are reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid? First write a balanced equation. Al(s) + HCl(aq)  AlCl 3 (aq) + H 2 (g) Gram to Gram Conversions

10 Aluminum is an active metal that when placed in hydrochloric acid produces hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride. How many grams of aluminum chloride can be produced when 3.45 grams of aluminum are reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid? Al(s) + HCl(aq)  AlCl 3 (aq) + H 2 (g) Now let’s get organized. Write the information below the substances g ? grams Gram to Gram Conversions

11 Aluminum is an active metal that when placed in hydrochloric acid produces hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride. How many grams of aluminum chloride can be produced when 3.45 grams of aluminum are reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid? Al(s) + HCl(aq)  AlCl 3 (aq) + H 2 (g) g ? grams Let’s work the problem. = g AlCl g Al We must always convert to moles.Now use the molar ratio.Now use the molar mass to convert to grams Units match gram to gram conversions
