Stoichiometry in Chemical Reactions

Introduction to Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It allows chemists to predict the amounts of substances consumed and produced, based on balanced chemical equations.

Stoichiometry involves using mole ratios from balanced equations to calculate quantities of reactants and products.
Always convert masses or volumes to moles before performing stoichiometric calculations.
Units such as grams, liters, or molecules must be converted to moles for accurate calculations.

Example: For the reaction: 2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2, 2 moles of potassium chlorate yield 2 moles of potassium chloride and 3 moles of oxygen gas.

Using Balanced Equations

Balanced equations provide the mole ratios needed for stoichiometric calculations. These ratios indicate how many moles of each reactant are required and how many moles of each product are formed.

Mole Ratio: The coefficients in a balanced equation represent the ratio of moles of reactants to products.
Example: 1 crust + 5 ounces tomato sauce + 2 cups cheese = 1 pizza (analogy for mole ratios).

Limiting Reactant and Theoretical Yield

Limiting Reactant Concept

The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed.

To identify the limiting reactant, compare the mole ratios of reactants used to those required by the balanced equation.
Once the limiting reactant is identified, use its amount to calculate the theoretical yield of products.

Example: In the reaction: N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3, if you have 5.22 kg of H2 and 31.5 kg of N2, calculate which is the limiting reactant and the amount of NH3 produced.

Theoretical Yield and Percent Yield

Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed from the limiting reactant. Actual yield is the amount of product actually obtained from the reaction. Percent yield compares these two values.

Theoretical Yield: Calculated from the limiting reactant using stoichiometry.
Actual Yield: The measured amount of product obtained.
Percent Yield:

Example: If the theoretical yield of Fe from Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 is 114.0 g, and the actual yield is 85.8 g, then:

Solution Concentrations and Dilutions

Molarity and Dilution Calculations

Molarity (M) is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution. Dilution involves adding solvent to decrease the concentration of a solution.

Molarity Formula:
Dilution Equation:

Example: To dilute 52.10 mL of 0.178 M HCl to make 0.132 M solution:
