Stoichiometry
What is stoichiometry?
2 A + 2B 3C
Given
20.0 grams of A and sufficient B,
how many grams of C can be produced?
What do you need?
Hello!
If you are given a mass in the problem,
you will need to convert this to moles
first. Ok?
Let’s go!
2 KClO3 2 KCl + 3 O2
2 : 3
1.50 : X
X = 2.25mol
Convert to mass
2.25 mol x 32.0 g/mol = 72.0 grams
Cool!
Try This:
We want to produce 2.75 mol of KCl. How many
grams of KClO3 would be required?
Soln
KClO3 : KCl
2 : 2
X : 2.75
X = 2.75mol
In mass: 2.75mol X 122.55 g/mol
= 337 grams zooo zimple!
Mass-Mass Problems
There are four steps involved in solving
these problems:
Make sure you are working with a properly
balanced equation.
Convert grams of the substance given in the
problem to moles.
Construct two ratios - one from the problem
and one from the equation and set them
equal. Solve for "x," which is usually found
in the ratio from the problem.
Convert moles of the substance just solved
for into grams.
Mass-Volume
Problems
No of moles = Volume
Molar volume
Can you remember a similar equation?
Molar volume
The molar volume is the
volume occupied by one
mole of ideal gas at STP.
Its value is: 22.4dm 3
Practice Problems
Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide formed at STP in
‘dm3' by the complete thermal decomposition of 3.125 g
of pure calcium carbonate (Relative atomic mass of
Ca=40, C=12, O=16)
Solution:
Convert the mass to mole:
Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16 x 3) = 100gmol-1
Mole = mass/molar mass
3.125/100 = 0.03125mol
Practice Problems
As per the equation,
Mole ratio 1 : 1
problem 0.03125mol X
X = 0.03125mol of CO2
