Stoichiometry
•Based on the law of conservation of matter
•A study of the mathematical relationships between the amounts of reactants used and amounts
of products formed in a reaction.
-The coefficients here represent the number of atoms or molecules involved in the reaction,
they can also represent the number of MOLES involved in the reaction.
2 moles of solid potassium react with 1 mole of liquid bromine to form 2 moles of solid
potassium bromide.

Determine all the possible mole ratios for these reactions
Step 1: Make sure Step 2: Convert all of Step 3: Compare the moles *Note that the reagent

limiting reagent. important here.
What is the limiting reagent when you have 75.0 g of Cu and 30.0 g of sulfur?
For every mole of Sulfur, you need 2 moles of Cu. So in this reaction, Copper is the limiting
reagent.
You Try
Mg(s) + HCl (aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
When 36.00 g of HCl reacts with 15.00 g of Mg what is the limiting reagent?
You Try
FeS2(s) + O2(g) Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + SO3(g)
How many grams of N2 are formed when 9.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 45.2 g of CuO?
How many grams of N2 are formed when 9.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 45.2 g of CuO?
When 36.00 g of HCl reats with 15.00 g of HCl, how much MgCl2 is produced?
Percent Yield
Actual Yield and Theoretical Yield
Theoretical yield – the maximum amount of
product that could possibly be made from a
given amount of reactants.
What is the percent yield if 12.1 g of CaO is produced from 24.9 g of CaCO3?
Step 1: Determine the theoretical yield. (Hint: The reaction is already balanced)
If you start with 42.8 g of Iron(III) Oxide, what is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide?
You Try
SiO2(s) + 3C(s) SiC(s) + 2CO(g)
If 25.0 g of silicon dioxide is heated with extra carbon 5.0 g of carbon monoxide is produced.
Calculate the percent yield.
You try:
N2(g) + H2(g) NH3(g)
If 20.0 g of nitrogen reacts with 20.0 g of hydrogen, 15.2 g of ammonia is produced. What is the
percent yield?
(Hint: You’re going to need to balance the reaction and determine the limiting reagent before you can answer this
question)
Solutions
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
◦ The dissolved substance is completely dispersed
throughout the solution
◦ Concentration is the SAME throughout
◦ Usually a solid is dissolved in a liquid
◦ Some liquids can dissolve in one another
◦ Some gases can be dissolved in liquids
Solution Process
Step 1. The solute molecules
separate. This process requires
energy.
Step 2: The solvent molecules
must separate. This process
requires energy
Step 3: The solute and solvent
attract. This process releases
energy.
Solution Concentration
The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent
MOLARITY (M) – most common form of
concentration expression
MOLALITY (m) – also used for concentration
expression
Parts Per Million (ppm) – another form of
concentration expression
Molarity
Equation for Molarity:
M = moles of solute
Liters of total solution
Ex: A 4g sugar cube is dissolved in a tea cup that holds 350mL of water. What is the molarity of
the solution?
◦ Sugar – sucrose (C6H22O11)
