1 STOICHIOMETRY

2 What is stoichiometry? ● quantitative study of a chemical reaction

3 Stoichiometry/mole Ratios A mole ratio converts moles of one compound in a balanced chemical equation into moles of another compound.

4 Example Reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide. ( fireworks) 2 Mg (s) + O 2(g) 2 MgO(s) Stoichiometry/Mole Ratio: 2 moles : 1 mole:2 moles

5 1) N 2 + 3 H 2 → 2 NH 3 What stoichiometry/mole ratios exist in this reaction? Practice Problem

6 What You Should Expect Given : Amount of reactants or products Question: how much of something else is formed or needed? Example 2A + 2B 3C Given 20.0 grams of A and lots of B, how many grams of C can be produced?

7 1) A can of butane lighter fluid contains 1.20 moles of butane (C 4 H 10 ). Calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide given off when this butane is burned completely. Practice Problems

8 Steps for Stoichiometry Problems 1.Balance the chemical equation 2.Get moles of given compound (may need to use molar mass). 3.Using stoichiometry (mole:mole ratio from balanced reaction), convert from the limiting reagent or product to the desired compound. 4.Using molar mass of the unknown substance, convert moles to mass.

9 Mole-Mole Problems Using the practice question 2) above: Equation of reaction 2C 4 H 10 + 13O 2 8CO 2 + 10H 2 O Mole ratio C 4 H 10 CO 2 1: 4 1.2 : X By factor-label method or cross-multiplication, X = 4.8 mols of CO 2 given off

10 Mole-Mass Problems Problem 2: 1.50 mol of KClO 3 decomposes. How many grams of O 2 will be produced? 2 KClO 3 2 KCl + 3 O 2

11 CHALLENGE 200 60-lb propane tanks explode and burns completely. What volume of the greenhouse gas, CO 2, was produced during this reaction? 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms density of CO 2(g) = 1.799 g/L
