2. TEK • 8 (E) perform stoichiometric calculations, including determination of mass relationships between reactants and products, calculation of limiting reagents, and percent yield.

3. Instructions: This is a work along tutorial. Each time you click the mouse or touch the space bar on your computer, one step of the problem solving occurs. Pressing the PAGE UP key will backup the steps. Get a pencil and paper, a periodic table and a calculator, and let’s get to work.

4. (1-2-3) General Approach For Problem Solving: 1. Clearly identify the Goal or Goals and the UNITS involved. (What are you trying to do?) 2. Determine what is given and the UNITS. 3. Use conversion factors (which are really ratios) and their UNITS to CONVERT what is given into what is desired.
