Gravimetric Stoichiometry LG: I can use mole ratios to predict masses of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Gravimetric Stoichiometry • The procedure for calculating masses of reactants or products in a chemical reaction is called Gravimetric Stoichiometry • All predictions are based on the number of moles and the mole ratio in the equation Mass of Reactant Mass of Product Moles of Reactant Moles of Product
Example 1 • 1.00g of zinc reacts with sulfur to produce zinc sulfide. If there is excess sulfur, what mass of zinc sulfide should be produced? Zn(s) + S8(s)ZnS(s) Steps: • Balance the equation to determine mole ratio • Convert mass of zinc to moles (using molar mass of Zn) • Use mole ratio to predict moles of ZnS produced • Convert moles of ZnS to mass (using molar mass of ZnS) Mrs. Rickert’s Tip: Organize info in a table and show all units!
Example 2 • On space shuttles, exhaled carbon dioxide is removed from the air by reacting it with solid lithium hydroxide: CO2(g) + LiOH(s) Li2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) • If a typical astronaut exhales880g of CO2 per day, what mass of lithium hydroxide would be required per astronaut, per day?
Stoichiometry Amounts • Refer to Example 2: • Notice that 40 moles of LiOH were needed to react with 20 moles of CO2. These values are multiples of the mole ratio indicated by the balanced equation. • Stoichiometric Amount – is a quantity that is in the same proportion as the coefficients in the balanced equation. • When Stoichiometric amounts of reactants are used, there should be no excess reagentsat the end of a reaction – in other words “the reaction goes to completion”
