The word stoichiometry comes from the Greek words stoicheion which means “element” and metron which means “measure”.
Stoichiometry deals with the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Recall that … 1 mole = 6.022 x1023 atoms or molecules 1 mole = the molar mass 1 mole = 22.4 L of any gas at STP
The word mole is one that represents a very large number. Much like “dozen” means 12, … “mole” means 6.022 x 1023
The key to doing stoichiometry is the balanced chemical equation. 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 2
The coefficients give the relative number of atoms or molecules of each reactant or product … as well as the number of moles. 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 molecules of hydrogen 1 molecule of oxygen 2 molecules of water Two molecules of hydrogen combine with one molecule of oxygen to make two molecules of water.
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 molecules of hydrogen 1 molecule of oxygen 2 molecules of water The balanced chemical equation also gives the smallest integer number of moles.
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water The balanced chemical equation also gives the smallest integer number of moles.
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water Two moles of hydrogen combine with one mole of oxygen to make two moles of water.
How can we show that this is really true? Consider the combustion of hydrogen in oxygen …
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water What do each of the reactants and product weigh?
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water 2 x 2.0 g 1 x 32.0 g 2 x 18.0 g + = 4.0 g 32.0 g 36.0 g
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water The Law of Conservation of Matter + = 4.0 g 32.0 g 36.0 g
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles of hydrogen 1 mole of oxygen 2 moles of water Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form. + = 4.0 g 32.0 g 36.0 g

Consider the reaction between dinitrogen pentoxide and water. What kind of reaction is it? Is it a … Double replacement reaction? Combustion reaction? Decomposition reaction? Single replacement reaction? So it must be a synthesis reaction
Consider the reaction between dinitrogen pentoxide and water. Which kind of synthesis reaction is it? • Hydrogen + nonmetal = binary acid • Metal + nonmetal = salt • Metal + water = base • Nonmetal + water = ternary acid N2O5 + HOH 2 HNO3 HNO3 is a ternary acid; HNO3 is nitric acid

N2O5 + HOH 2 HNO3 ??? g 100.0 g 1.59 mol/2 0.794 mole 1.59 mole = 1.59 mole HNO3 = 85.7 g N2O5
N2O5 + HOH 2 HNO3 85.7 g 100.0 g 1.59 mol/2 0.794 mole 1.59 mole But. Suppose that we find out that there are only 60.0 grams of dinitrogen pentoxide. How many grams of nitric acid could we actually make?

Stoichiometry problems will usually take one of the following forms: • Mole-mole problem where you might be given moles and asked to find moles of another substance. • Mole-mass problem where you might be given moles and asked find the mass of another substance.
Mass-mass problem where you might be given a mass and asked to find the mass of another substance. • Mass-volume problem where you might be given a mass and asked to find the volume of a gas. • Volume-volume problem where you might be given a volume and asked to find another volume.
Volume-volume stoichiometry problems are easiest when you use Gay-Lussac’s Law. “The ratio between the volumes of the reactant gases and the products can be expressed in simple whole numbers.”
Simply put, Gay-Lussac’s Law says this: The volumes of the gases are in the same ratio as the coefficients in the balanced equation. 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O 2 moles 1 mole 2 moles 2 L 1 L 2 L
