ratio
Lesson Summary
Using Equations Stoichiometric calculations tell us the amounts of reactants and
products under ideal conditions.
Knowing the quantity of one substance in an equation allows you to calculate the
amount of any other substance consumed or created in the reaction.
Using Equations
1. How can you determine the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
Chemical Equations
6. From what elements is ammonia produced? How is it used?
7. Circle the letter of the term that tells what kind of information you CANNOT get from a
chemical equation.
a. moles
b. mass
c. size of particles
d. volume
e. number of particles
8. The coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell you the relative number of moles of
and in a chemical reaction.
9. Why is the relative number of moles of reactants and products the most important
information that a balanced chemical equation provides?
10. Is the following sentence true or false? A balanced chemical equation must obey the law
of conservation of mass.

11. Use Figure 12.2 on page 389. Complete the table about the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen.
28 g N2 +3 g H2 2 g NH 3
g reactants 34 g products
Assume STP
22.4 L N2 + 67.2 L H2 L NH3
12. Circle the letter(s) of the items that are ALWAYS conserved in every chemical reaction.
a. volume of gases d. moles
b. mass e. molecules
c. formula units f. atoms
13. What reactant combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide? Where can this reactant be
found in nature?
Lesson Summary
Writing and Using Mole Ratios A mole ratio is a conversion factor derived from the
coefficients of a balanced chemical equation.
Mole ratios are used to convert between mass and moles in stoichiometric problems.
The coefficients indicate the number of moles in a balanced equation.
