CH. 12 STOICHIOMETRY
Balanced Chemical Equations Used to calculate: How much of each reactant is needed How much product will form If you know one quantity you can calculate the rest. Quantity may be in atoms, molecules, moles; mass (g) and/or volume (L)
Conversion Factors Mass: molar mass is in g/mol Find by adding the atomic masses of each atom Volume: gases at STP have a volume of 22.4 L/mol Mol to molecules: 6.02 x 1023 molecules/mol

12.2 Chemical Calculations Mole ratios: determined from the balanced chemical equation (interpreted in mol) Example: in the balanced chemical equation N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) there is 1 mol N2, 3 mol H2, and 2 mol NH3. The mole ratios you can use as conversion factors are 1 mol N2/ 3 mol H2 2 mol NH3/ 1 mol N2 3 mol H2/ 2 mol NH3
Sample N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) mol mol Conversion factors: mol How many mol of NH3 are produced when 0.60 mol nitrogen reacts with hydrogen?

How many mol of oxygen are required to react completely with 14.8 mol Al? How many mol of Al2O3 are formed when 0.78 mol O2 reacts with aluminum?
Mass to Mass conversions Mass of one substance cannot be directly converted to mass of another substance because different substances have different molar masses and a mole ratio is used to convert between substances in a balanced chemical equation.
Sample N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) Calculate the number of grams of NH3 produced when 5.40 g of hydrogen reacts with an excess of nitrogen. Mass of hydrogen: Mole ratio: Molar mass of H2: Molar mass of NH3:

Other Stoichiometric Calculations If the quantity given is not in moles, convert to moles! To convert from one substance to another, use the mole ratio. Convert moles of new substance to any other unit as the problem requires.

12.3 Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield An insufficient quantity of any of the reactants will limit the amount of product that forms. Limiting reagent: reactant that determines the amount of product that can form Excess reagent: reactant that is not completely used up in a reaction
Limiting Reagent: S mores 2Gc + 1 Ma + 3Ch 1 Gc2MaCh3 (S m)
