Steps for Solving a Stoichiometry Problem By: Aryn Balogh Period: 1
If 12.7g of water is decomposed using an electric current, how many grams of Hydrogen and Oxygen gas will be produced?
Step 1:Write a complete and balanced chemical equation. 2H2O 2H2 + O2
Step 2:Draw a column for each chemical. 2H2O 2H2 + O2
Step 3: Write the amount given in the appropriate column. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g
Step 4:Convert the amount given into moles. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705 moles
Step 5:Find moles for each of the other chemicals. a) In each of the other columns write the moles of given (x) a fraction. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705 moles 0.705mx X/X 0.705mx X/X
b) The numerator of the fraction is the coefficient of that column. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705m x 2/X= 0.705m x 1/X=
c) The denominator of the fraction is the coefficient of the given column. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 0.705m x 1/2= 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705m x 2/2=
d) Do math and label as moles. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 2/2= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 1/2= 0.353 moles
Step 6:Convert all moles into grams. 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 2/2= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 1/2= 0.353 moles 0.705m/1 x 2.0158g/1m= 1.42g 0.353m/1 x 31.998g/1m= 11.3g
Step 7:Verify the law of conservation of mass 2H2O 2H2 + O2 12.7g/1 x 1mole/18.0148g= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 2/2= 0.705 moles 0.705m x 1/2= 0.353 moles 0.705m/1 x 2.0158g/1m= 1.42g 0.353m/1 x 31.998g/1m= 11.3g 12.7g = 1.42g + 11.3g 12.7g = 12.7g 1.42g of Hydrogen gas will be produced & 11.3g of Oxygen will be produced.
