a. Define stoichiometry.
b. Apply the concept of mole to obtain the amount of a
given substance.
c. Solve problems for quantitative relationships in balanced
chemical equations using the mole method.
Stoichiometry
• Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in a certain
chemical reactions.
• It is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between
reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine
desired quantitative data.
Stoichiometry is often used to balance chemical
equations.

It shows the 2:1:2 ratio of hydrogen, oxygen, and water molecules in


the above equation.
Terms to Review
üAqueous means dissolved in water; it is written as (aq). The solvent is
water.
üAqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. Example,
a solution of table salt or sodium chloride or known as salt solution.
üSolution a mixture of solute and solvent (Types: gas - gas, gas - liquid,
gas – solid, liquid – liquid, liquid – solid, liquid – gas, solid – solid, solid
– liquid, and solid - gas).
Terms to Review
üSolute is the substance that gets dissolved
üSolvent is the liquid that dissolves solute
üConcentration means, how much solute is dissolved per volume of
solution.
üMolarity is the concentration of a substance in solution, expressed as
the number moles of solute per liter of solution. Its unit is mol/L and
it is indicated by M.
Terms to Review
üMolality is the concentration of a substance in solution, expressed as
the number moles of solute per kilogram of solution. Its unit is
mol/kg or molal, indicated as m.
üMole is the SI unit of amount of substance of a specified elementary
entity, which may be an atom, molecule, ion, electron, any other
particle or a specified group of such particles. Its magnitude is set by
fixing the numerical value of the Avogadro constant to be exactly
6.022 x 1023.
STEPS IN CALCULATING STOICHIOMETRIC
PROBLEMS

• STEP 1. Balance the equation.


• STEP 2. Convert units of a given substance to moles.
• STEP 3. Using the mole ratio, calculate the moles of substance yielded
by the reaction.
• STEP 4. Convert moles of wanted substance to desired units.
Mole-to-Mole Calculation
• Problem # 1. Nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with hydrogen gas (N2) to form
ammonia (NH3). How many moles of N2 are consumed to produce
3.00 mol NH3?

Following Step 1. We need to balance the equation, N2 + H2 →NH3.
