What is stoichiometry? • Quantitative aspects of chemistry • Stoicheon Greek root (element) • Metron Greek root( to measure) • Calculate how much of a reactant needed to produce a product or how much product could be expected
Stoichiometry • How much do I want? • How much do I have? • How much will I get?
The Mole • Defined as the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. • 1 mole is 6.02 x 1023 particles. • Treat it like a very large dozen • 6.02 x 1023 is called Avogadro's number.
The Mole • One mole = 6.022 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number)
Avogadro’s hypothesis When all of the following are the same: • Volumes of containers • Temperature of the gases • The pressure exerted by and on each gas Then, the number of molecules in each container will be the same, too. However, the masses are not equal.
Representative particles • The smallest pieces of a substance. • For an element it is an atom. • –Unless it is diatomic • For a molecular compound it is a molecule. • For an ionic compound it is a formula unit.
Molar Mass A substance’s molar mass (molecular weight) is the mass in grams of one mole of the compound. CO2 = 44.01 grams per mole H2O = 18.02 grams per mole Ca(OH)2 = 74.10 grams per mole
Chemical Equations Chemical change involves a reorganization of the atoms in one or more substances. C2H5OH + 3O2®2CO2 + 3H2O reactants products When the equation is balanced it has quantitative significance: 1 mole of ethanol reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of carbon dioxideand 3 moles of water
Calculating Masses of Reactants and Products • Balance the equation. • Convert mass to moles. • Set up mole ratios. • Use mole ratios to calculate moles of desired substance. • Convert moles to grams, if necessary.
Working a Stoichiometry Problem 6.50 grams of aluminum reacts with an excess of oxygen. How many grams of aluminum oxide are formed. 1. Identify reactants and products and write the balanced equation. 4 Al + 3 O2 2 Al2O3 a. Every reaction needs a yield sign! b. What are the reactants? c. What are the products? d. What are the balanced coefficients?
Working a Stoichiometry Problem 6.50 grams of aluminum reacts with an excess of oxygen. How many grams of aluminum oxide are formed? 4 Al + 3 O2 2Al2O3 6.50 g Al 1 mol Al 2 mol Al2O3 101.96 g Al2O3 = ? g Al2O3 4 mol Al 1 mol Al2O3 26.98 g Al 6.50 x 2 x 101.96÷ 26.98 ÷ 4 = 12.3 g Al2O3
Percent yield • The % yield is calculated from: (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100 • The theoretical yield is how much product is predicted from balanced chemical equation. • The actual yield is how much is recovered when actual experiment is conducted.
Limiting Reactant The limiting reactantis the reactant that is consumed first,limiting the amounts of products formed.
How to solve stoichiometry problems? • Write the balanced chemical equation • Convert to moles information on reactants and products • Use mole ratios from equation to determine number of moles of unknown • Convert moles to unit desired • g xmoles xmoles yg y
Limiting reactant • Reactant present in short supply • Excess reactant • Reactant in excess relative to limiting reactant
Formulas Empirical formula: the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. Molecular formula: the true number of atoms of each element in the formula of a compound. • molecular formula = (empirical formula)n [n = integer] • molecular formula = C6H6 = (CH)6 • empirical formula = CH
Formulas(continued) Formulas for ionic compounds are ALWAYS empirical (lowest whole number ratio). Examples: NaCl MgCl2 Al2(SO4)3 K2CO3
Formulas(continued) Formulas for molecular compoundsMIGHT be empirical (lowest whole number ratio). Molecular: C6H12O6 H2O C12H22O11 Empirical: H2O CH2O C12H22O11
Empirical Formula Determination • Base calculation on 100 grams of compound. • Determine moles of each element in 100 grams of compound. • Divide each value of moles by the smallest of the values. • Multiply each number by an integer to obtain all whole numbers.

Finding the Molecular Formula The empirical formula for adipic acid is C3H5O2. The molecular mass of adipic acid is 146 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of adipic acid? 1. Find the formula mass of C3H5O2 3(12.01 g) + 5(1.01) + 2(16.00) = 73.08 g
Finding the Molecular Formula The empirical formula for adipic acid is C3H5O2. The molecular mass of adipic acid is 146 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of adipic acid? 2. Divide the molecular mass by the mass given by the emipirical formula. 3(12.01 g) + 5(1.01) + 2(16.00) = 73.08 g
Finding the Molecular Formula The empirical formula for adipic acid is C3H5O2. The molecular mass of adipic acid is 146 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of adipic acid? 3. Multiply the empirical formula by this number to get the molecular formula. 3(12.01 g) + 5(1.01) + 2(16.00) = 73.08 g (C3H5O2) x 2 = C6H10O4
Combustion AnalysisTechnique that requires burning of an unknown substance and trap the gases from burning. • Used to determine molecular formula of an unknown • Combustion= burning • Using oxygen
Points about combustion • Element that makes unknown almost always contain carbon and hydrogen. Oxygen is often involved and nitrogen is involved sometimes. • Must know mass of the unknown substance before burning it • Unknown will be burnt in pure oxygen, present in excess • Carbon dioxide and water are the products • All the carbon winds up as carbon dioxide and all the hydrogen winds up as water • The end result will be to determine the empirical formula of the substance
