  • Stoichiometry
    Numerical relationships among compounds in a balanced chemical equation, allowing calculation of unknown quantities from known values.
  • Gas Stoichiometry
    Calculations involving reactions that produce gases, requiring use of gas laws and mole relationships from balanced equations.
  • Stoichiometric Chart
    A visual tool mapping the conversion steps between given and unknown quantities in a chemical reaction, including gases.
  • Balanced Chemical Equation
    A symbolic representation showing bayside reactant and product quantities, ensuring atom conservation in a reaction.
  • Ideal Gas Law
    A mathematical relationship connecting pressure, volume, temperature, and moles for a gas sample, expressed as PV = nRT.
  • Mole Ratio
    A proportional relationship derived from coefficients in a balanced equation, used to relate amounts of different substances.
  • Jump
    The transition step in stoichiometry where known information is converted to unknown quantities using mole ratios.
  • Moles
    A counting unit representing a specific number of particles, central to converting between mass, volume, and number of entities.
  • Grams
    A mass unit often used to express the quantity of a substance before converting to moles in stoichiometric calculations.
  • Pressure
    A physical property of gases, often measured in atmospheres or pascals, required for calculations using the ideal gas law.
  • Volume
    The space occupied by a gas, typically measured in liters, essential for determining moles via the ideal gas law.
  • Temperature
    A measure of thermal energy, usually in Kelvin, influencing the behavior and calculations of gases in reactions.
  • Coefficients
    Numbers in a balanced equation indicating the relative amounts of reactants and products, crucial for mole ratios.
  • Molecules
    Discrete groups of atoms bonded together, which can be calculated from moles after stoichiometric conversions.
  • Formula Units
    The simplest ratio of ions in an ionic compound, used to count entities after determining moles in a reaction.
