1. Baby Stoich! (Ideal Stoichiometry)

2. stoichiometry = process of calculating the exact amount of products made from an exact amount of reactants, or vice-versa.
“baby” stoich is stoichiometry where one of the reactants is available in an unlimited amount. In reality, this is not the case:
one reactant will limit the amount of product that can be made,
and the other one will be in excess.
for these problems, assume the other reactant is unlimited.
stoichiometry uses two main components to do this:
a correctly balanced, correctly written chemical equation
a conversion table that converts not only units of a compound, but also converts one compound into another using a mole ratio.
mole ratio = the ratio of moles of the compounds in a balanced chemical equation. This is shown by the coefficients in the equation. Ex:
mole ratios: __ mol C3H8 is required to make __ mol CO2. = __:__
__ mol O2 is required to make __ mol H2O. = __:__
__ mol H2O can be made from __ mol C3H8. = __:__
__ C3H8 + __ O2  __ CO2 + __ H2O 1 5 3 4 1 3 1 3 5 4 5 4 4 1 4 1

3. __ ______ + __ _______  __ _______ + __ ______
as stated before, stoich problems rely on a conversion table that converts not only units of a compound, but also converts one compound (A) into another (B) using a mole ratio.
this means you not only use the mole map like you did before, but
you also start using both sides of the mole map
side A is connected to side B with the mole ratio “bridge”
“A” = your starting compound’s formula
“B” = your desired compound’s formula
so how does all this come together in a baby stoich problem? Let’s try one:
Ex1: Iron (III) oxide reacts with sodium phosphate in a DR reaction. If you use 85.3g of iron (III) oxide, how many grams of iron (III) phosphate can you make?
step 1: write and balance the chemical equation in the problem.
__ ______ + __ _______  __ _______ + __ ______ 2 2 1 3
Fe2O3 4
Na3PO4 4
FePO4 6
Na2O

4. Number, Unit, Formula—In Every Step—ALWAYS!
Ex1: Iron (III) oxide reacts with sodium phosphate in a DR reaction. If you use 85.3g of iron (III) oxide, how many grams of iron (III) phosphate can you make?
step 2: decide what pathway to take on the mole map from the A side to the B side. Be sure to cross the mole ratio at some point.
g Fe2O3  mol Fe2O3  mol FePO4  g FePO4
(3 steps on the mole map)
step 3: set up a conversion table and fill it in to convert from your starting number/unit/formula to your requested number/unit/formula. Insert coefficients from the balanced equation into the mole ratio.
step 4: calculate, remembering that #s on the top multiply, and #s on the bottom divide.
Now do you see why it’s important to write the formula after your unit?
Number, Unit, Formula—In Every Step—ALWAYS!
1 Fe2O3 + 2 Na3PO4  2 FePO4 + 3 Na2O
THIS IS THE MOLE RATIO!!!
85.3 g Fe2O3
1 mol Fe2O3
__ mol FePO4 2
g FePO4
= g
FePO4
g Fe2O3 1
__ mol Fe2O3
1 mol FePO4
85.3   2  =

5. __ ______ + __ ___  __ _____ + __ _____
Ex2: How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if g of octane combust?
__ ______ + __ ___  __ _____ + __ _____
Ex3: How many grams of calcium borate are needed to react with aluminum thiosulfate to produce 4.35 x 1024 formula units of aluminum borate?
__ ________ + __ ________  __ ________ + __ ________
