What is Stoichiometry? Stoichiometry is the study of quantitative relationships between amounts of reactants used and products formed by a chemical reaction.
Practical Applications of Stoichiometry In a spacecraft, the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts can be removed by its reaction with lithium hydroxide, LiOH, according to the following chemical equation. CO2(g) + 2LiOH(s) Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l) How many moles of lithium hydroxide are required to react with 20 mol of CO2, the average amount exhaled by a person each day?
Strategy – Relate everything to the mole The mole is the common thread that links reactants to products. 1CO2(g) + 2LiOH(s) 1Li2CO3(s) + 1H2O(l) Mole Ratios
The Mole Super Highway Particles Particles 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles Mole Mole 1 mole = molar mass MOLE RATIO 1 mole = molar mass Mass Mass
Practice Problems How many moles of water are formed when 3.8 moles of Hydrogen react with an excess of Oxygen? What is the mass of the water formed? What mass of oxygen is needed to fully combust 12.5g ethane (C2H6)?
Limiting Reactants Why do reactions end? Some or all of the reactants get used up. Limiting Reactants limit the extent of the reaction and thereby determines the amount of the product. Leftover reactants are called excess reactants
How do you determine which reactant is limited? If 200g of sulfur reacts with 100g of chlorine, what mass of disulfur dichloride is produced? • Determine the moles of the reactants based on their masses. • Determine if the two reactants are in the correct mole ratio as given by the balanced chemical equation. • Use the number of moles of the limiting reaction as your given value to calculate the mass of the product that could be produced.
What else can you do …. • Determine how much reactant is in excess once the reaction is carried out 1. Calculate the actual amount of the excess reactant that is required by using the given quantity of the limiting reactant 2. Calculate the difference between the amount of the excess reactant required and the amount that is given.
Practice Problem Chlorine is used by textile manufacturers to bleach cloth. Excess chlorine is destroyed by its reaction with sodium thiosulfate, : __Na2S2O3(aq) + __Cl2(g) + __H2O(aq) __NaHSO4(aq) + __HCl(aq) What is the mole ratio Na2S2O3 to Cl2 in the balanced chemical equation? How many grams sodium thiosulfate is needed to completely destroy 103g of chlorine? Is 75g of Na2S2O3 an adequate quantity to destroy 35g of Cl2 ? Which reactant is in excess? And how much is left over after the reaction occurs?
Percent Yield Stoichiometric calculations provide a theoretical yield or maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactants. The actual yield is the amount that is actually produced when a reaction is carried out. The percent yield reflects the ratio of the theoretical and actual yields
Percent Yield Problem Ethanol (C2H5OH) is produced from the fermentation of sucrose. Determine the theoretical and percent yields of ethanol if 684g sucrose undergoes fermentation and 349g of ethanol are obtained.
