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.
Step 3: Using the mole ratio, calculate the moles of substance yielded by the
reaction. The mole ratio is 1:2 (1 mol N and 2 mol NH )

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?
Step 3: Using the mole ratio, calculate the moles of substance yielded by the
reaction.

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?
Since the unit required is mole, the final answer is 1.5 mol N2.
Mass-to-Mole Calculation
• Problem # 2. Nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with hydrogen gas (N2) to form
ammonia (NH3). If 25 g of N2 reacts with H2 , how many moles of NH3
will be formed?
