Stoichiometry Involves the mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Problem Type 1 • Given and unknown quantities are amounts in moles. • This is a mol mol calculation. • To solve these problems you need the moleratio = a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances in a chemRxn.
Example • Ammonia, NH3, is widely used as a fertilizer and as an ingredient in many household cleaners. How many moles of ammonia are produced when 6 mol of hydrogen gas react with an excess of nitrogen gas? H2 + N2NH3
Problem Type 2 • Given is in moles and unknown is expressed in grams (mass). • This is a mol mol mass conversion calculation.
Example • When magnesium burns in air, it combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide according to the following equation 2Mg + O2 2MgO What mass is grams of MgO is produced from 2 moles of Mg?
Problem Type 3 • Given is a mass in grams and unknown is in moles. • This is a mass mol mol calculation.
Example • Oxygen was discovered when heated mercury (II) oxide decomposed to form its constituent elements. How many moles of HgO are needed to produce 125 g of oxygen, O2?
Problem Type 4 • Given and unknown amounts are in grams (mass). • This is a mass mol mol mass calculation.
Example • When copper metal is added to silver nitrate in solution, silver metal and copper (II) nitrate are produced. What mass of silver is produced from 100g of Cu?
