1
Stoichiometry
2
What is stoichiometry? study of quantitative relationships in balanced chemical equations chemical equations illustrate chemical reactions
3
Physical vs. Chemical Change Physical Change: Chemical Change: change in form/appearance examples: dissolving phase changes change in identity change in chemical formula
4
Evidence of a Chemical Reaction 5 types of evidence to look for: temperature change endothermic/exothermic emission of light energy change in identifying property: color, mp, bp, density, H f, H v, … formation of gas bubbling, odor formation of solid precipitate forms
5
Chemical Equations A + B C + D Left Side = Reactants (starting materials) Right Side = Products (ending materials) “ ” read as produces/yields How do we show the physical state of the reactants & products? (s), (l), (g), (aq)
6
Law of Conservation of Matter matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical rxns mass reactants = mass productsmass reactants = mass products chemical bonds in reactants may break; new bonds may form to produce products # atoms of each element is “constant” # atoms same on both sides of equation # atoms same on both sides of equation
7
Coefficients in Chemical Equations in front of# in front of formulas called coefficients –apply to everything following in formula connect microscopic world with macroscopic world –microscopic: coefficients represent # individual atoms/molecules –macroscopic: coefficients represent mole ratios! moles: connected to mass (MOLE MAP!)
8
Writing Chemical Equations word equationbegin with word equation –describes reactants & products –convert words to chemical formulas skeleton equationnext is skeleton equation –replace names of substances with chemical formulas balancebalance skeleton equation –balanced equation demonstrates law of conservation of mass
9
Equation Balancing surveysurvey skeleton equation (left to right) –count # each type atom on reactant side –count # each type atom on product side CO-EFFICIENTSCO-EFFICIENTS used to balance # each type atom make successive passes checking ONE ELEMENT AT A TIMEmake successive passes checking ONE ELEMENT AT A TIME NEVER CHANGE SUBSCRIPTS IN FORMULAS –would change identity of reactant/product
10
Balanced Equations co-efficients must be in lowest possible ratios double check your work –always do one last pass to check numbers use RAP table to keep track of # each element
11
Example 1 Fe + O 2 Fe 2 O 3 Fe + 3 O 2 2 Fe 2 O 3 O’s balanced - Now balance Fe 4 Fe + 3 O 2 2 Fe 2 O 3 do one last check: 4 Fe, 6 O R A P 1 Fe 2 1 Fe 2 2 O 3 2 O 3 ✔
12
Example 2 Na + H 2 O NaOH + H 2 Na + H 2 O NaOH + H 2 even # H’s on left, odd # on right (make H’s on right even) Na + H 2 O 2 NaOH + H 2 balance Na’s 2 Na + H 2 O 2 NaOH + H 2 balance O’s 2 Na + 2 H 2 O 2 NaOH + H 2 ✔ R A P 1 Na 1 2 H 3 1 O 1
13
Example 3 AgNO 3 + MgCl 2 Mg(NO 3 ) 2 + AgCl treat (NO 3 ) -1 as one unit since on both sides of equation 2 AgNO 3 + MgCl 2 Mg(NO 3 ) 2 + AgCl balance Ag & Cl 2 AgNO 3 + MgCl 2 Mg(NO 3 ) 2 + 2 AgCl R A P 1 Ag 1 1 NO 3 2 1 Mg 1 2 Cl 1 ✔
