4. Law of Conservation of Mass We may lay it down as an incontestable axiom that, in all the operations of art and nature, nothing is created; an equal amount of matter exists both before and after the experiment. Upon this principle, the whole art of performing chemical experiments depends. -Antoine Lavoisier, 1789

5. Chemical Equations Concise representations of chemical reactions

6. Anatomy of a Chemical Equation CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g)

7. Anatomy of a Chemical Equation Reactants appear on the left side of the equation. CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g)

8. Anatomy of a Chemical Equation Products appear on the right side of the equation. CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g)

9. Anatomy of a Chemical Equation The states or phases of the reactants and products are written in parentheses to the right of each compound. CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g)

10. Anatomy of a Chemical Equation Coefficients are inserted to balance the equation. CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g)

13. Stoichiometry

14. Stoichiometric Calculations The coefficients in the balanced equation give the ratio of moles of reactants and products.

15. Stoichiometric Calculations From the mass of Substance A you can use the mole ratio between A and B to calculate the mass of Substance B formed (if it’s a product) or used (if it’s a reactant).

16. Stoichiometric Calculations Starting with 1.00 g of C 6 H 12 O 6 … we calculate the moles of C 6 H 12 O 6 … use the coefficients to find the moles of H 2 O… and then turn the moles of water to grams. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2  6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O

17. Stoichiometric Calculations OR C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2  6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O

18. Limiting Reactants

19. How Many Cookies Can I Make? You can make cookies until you run out of one of the ingredients.You can make cookies until you run out of one of the ingredients. Once this family runs out of sugar, they will stop making cookies (at least any cookies you would want to eat).Once this family runs out of sugar, they will stop making cookies (at least any cookies you would want to eat).

20. How Many Cookies Can I Make? In this example the sugar would be the limiting reactant, because it will limit the amount of cookies you can make.In this example the sugar would be the limiting reactant, because it will limit the amount of cookies you can make.

21. Limiting Reactants The limiting reactant is always the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount.

22. Limiting Reactants The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount.The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount. –In other words, it’s the reactant you’ll run out of first (in this case, the H 2 ).

23. Limiting Reactants In the example below, the O 2 would be the excess reagent.

24. Theoretical Yield The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made.The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made. –In other words it’s the amount of product possible as calculated through the stoichiometry problem. This is different from the actual yield, the amount one actually produces and measures.This is different from the actual yield, the amount one actually produces and measures.

25. Percent Yield = 100 Percent Yield = × 100 Actual Yield Theoretical Yield Percent Yield A comparison of the amount actually obtained to the amount it was possible to make.
