Lesson 6- Stoichiometry-calculating Concentration of Solutions
expected to:
1. Calculate the different
concentrations of solutions
2. Perform stoichiometric
solutions
CONCENTRATION
Anyone who has made instant coffee or
lemonade knows that too much powder
gives a strong flavored, highly
concentrated drink. Whereas too little
results in a dilute solution that may be
hard to distinguish from water.
CONCENTRATION
In chemistry, the concentration of a solution is
the quantity of a solute that is contained in a
particular quantity of solvent or solution.
Knowing the concentration of solutes is
important in controlling the stoichiometry of
reactants for solution reactions.
Stoichiometry Involving Solutions:
In chemistry, the concentration of a solution is
the quantity of a solute that is contained in a
particular quantity of solvent or solution.
Knowing the concentration of solutes is
important in controlling the stoichiometry of
reactants for solution reactions.
Flowchart for Stoichiometric Calculations
PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS:
1. The solute is accurately weighed and transferred to a
volumetric flask using a funnel.
2. A small amount of distilled is added to the flask, which is
then swirled to dissolve the solid.
3. After all the solid has dissolved, more water is added
slowly to bring to the level of solution exactly to the
volume mark.
4. Calculate the molarity of the solution.
Calculation from Concentration of
Solution:
1. Check the chemical equation to make sure it is
balanced as written; balance if necessary.
2. From the balanced chemical equation, use a
mole ratio to calculate the number of moles and
mass/volume that can be obtained from the
reaction.

DETERMINING CONCENTRATION
OF SOLUTIONS
Preparation of Solutions:
To study stoichiometry you must know how much of
the reactants are present in a solution and how to
control the amounts of reactants to be used to come
up with a desired reaction in aqueous solution.
Laboratory Techniques in Quantitative
Analysis for Solution :
g/mol of Cl x 100
% of Cl =
g/mol of AgCl
35 g/mol AgCl x 100 = 24.48
% of Cl =
143 g/mol AgCl
2. Calculate the mass of Cl in 1.0882 g of AgCl. To do this,
you convert 24.72 percent to 0.2472 and write mass of Cl
