Stoichiometry The relationships among the quantities of reactants and products involved in chemical reactions. 3CaCl2(aq) + 2H3PO4(aq) 6HCl(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s) 3 mol 2 mol 6 mol 1 mol 3 moles of CaCl2 react with 2 moles H3PO4 of to produce 6 moles of HCl and 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2.
Chemical Equations Deal in Moles… but we cannot count that high! 3CaCl2(aq) + 2H3PO4(aq) 6HCl(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s) moles (reactants) moles (products) In the laboratory, we cannot count moles. In the laboratory, we calculate moles after measuring: • mass (for pure solids, liquids, or gases), • volume and concentration (for solutions), or • volume, pressure, and temperature (for gases).
How to Get from the Measurement to Moles… If you measure the mass divide by the molar mass volume and molarity multiply the molarity by the volume in liters moles moles (reactants) (products) chemical equation pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas PV RT
…and Back Again multiply by the molar mass mass divide by the volume in liters moles moles (reactants) (products) molarity chemical equation pressure, volume, or temperature of a gas use PV = nRT
Possible Stoichiometry Problems Since we can start with: moles mass molarity P, V, and T and we can end with: moles mass molarity P, V, and T, there are 16 possible types of stoichiometry problems. Here are eight of them: moles moles mass moles moles mass mass mass moles molarity mass molarity moles P,V,T mass P,V,T
Possible Stoichiometry Problems moles moles mass moles moles mass mass mass moles molarity mass molarity moles P,V,T mass P,V,T The good news is that ONE method serves to solve ANY type of stoichiometry problem. We will start with massmass problems, so we must be able to calculate a molar mass.
Calculating Molar Masses • The formula for calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2. • The formula mass for Ca3(PO4)2 is calculated by adding the masses of every atom in Ca3(PO4)2: atomic mass from periodic table Write the masses so that they have four significant figures. 1 formula unit of Ca3(PO4)2 has: 3 atoms Ca, which have a mass of 3 x 40.08 amu = 120.24 amu 2 atoms P, which have a mass of 2 x 30.97 amu = 61.94 amu 8 atoms O, which have a mass of 8 x 16.00 amu = 128.00 amu formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2 310.18 amu
Calculating Molar Masses The molar mass for Ca3(PO4)2 is the mass of 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2. The molar mass has the same value as the formula mass, but the units are grams. The formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2 is 310.18 amu. The molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 is 310.18 g.
Converting from Mass to Moles Once we know the molar mass of a compound, we can calculate the number of moles present in ANY MASS of that compound.Simply treat the molar mass as a conversion factor. For example,1 mol Ca3(PO4)2 = 310.18 g. How many moles of Ca3(PO4)2are in 29.16 g of the compound? 29.16 g x 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.09401 mol Ca3(PO4)2 310.18 g
How to Solve any Stoichiometry Problem in Five Steps Example: What mass of oxygen is consumed in the combustion of 100.0 g of propane, C3H8? (This is a mass mass stoichiometry problem.) 1. Write and balance the equation for the reaction. C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (l) (In the combustion of a hydrocarbon, the other reactant is always oxygen, and the products are always carbon dioxide and water.)

Using Stoichiometry to Handle Problems Involving Thermochemical Equations Example: How many kJ of heat are released in the combustion of 25.0 g of methanol (CH3OH), a liquid, at 25°C? ΔH°(25°C) = -726.56 kJ / mol methanol (This isn’t exactly massmoles, but we still use most of the same steps.) 1. Write and balance the equation for the reaction. 2CH3OH (l) + 3O2 (g) 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (l) This is another combustion reaction. Although methanol contains O as well as C and H, the products are again carbon dioxide and water.
