Chapter 9: Stoichiometry
1. Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry ‘eles the Law of Conservation of DAGSS.
2. The total sum of the {OSS for reactants will Co-UC.| the total sum of the mass
of the products and NOT the number of molecules.
3. Stiochiometry is dependent on (00
rstancecl equations.
8. Stiochiometric questions investigate the amount of substance needed to react with another
substance, or the amount of a particular substance produced in a chemical reaction
Stoichiometric relationships can look at
Mole__to_Molc ratios,
2. Mole to mole ratios relate the number of moles of any substance in a balanced
chemical reaction. They are based on the o.\ov\¢ccl _ chemical equation.
b. Example: 3H) + Nj ———» 2NHy
3 moles of Hsrequires_|__mole of N;to form 2 moles of NH,
Therefore, 6 moles of H. should equal_‘t moles of NH.
This means that 17.25 moles of H» can produce ||: __ moles of NH
17.5 mol H, (2 mol NH, ) = 11.5 mol NH3,
3 mol Hy
2, Moleto {ICs calculations.
a. Using a balanced chemical reaction the moles of one substance is given, and
another substance has an _C..\icL\ amount of grams.
b. The equation MUST be Da Lanc oc !

Using the same equation, how many grams of NH; are produced if 10.57 moles
of H, are used in a reaction?

4. Gramsto_G'GS calculations.

another substance has an unknown amount of (Uc.
b. Use a Balanced equation! 3
c. To insure the correct amount of each substance relative to the others their
molar ratio must be considered. In other words grams must be converted to
moles, then the mole to mole ratio must be determined, and finally back to
grams.

Il. Ideal Stoichiometric Conversions vs Real Exper
entation.
‘A. Allthe above examples make the assumption that 100% of the reactant{s) react perfectly in a
chemical reaction, While this might occur typically experiments in the real world vary from the
ideal calculations. There are numerous factors that might limit the completion of any reaction
but for many Chemistry problems the assumption is that the reaction will proceed. The next
section will ook at how to determine which reactant limits the number of products formed,Practice problems: Introduction to stoichiometry

‘A. Typically reactions do not occur in perfect ratios. One reactant is usually found to have extra
while another reactant is completely used up in a reaction.
1. The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that limits the amount of product formed
2. The Excess Reactant is NOT used up in a reaction,
B. Example: SiO) + 4HF —> Sif, + 2H,0
IF 6 moles of HF is added to 4.5 moles of SiO,, What is the limiting reactant?
Calculate the amount of a product that can be formed with each given reactant amount.
One amount will be less than the other. The limiting reactant is the reactant that gives the
lesser amount of product.
Use the given values,
mol HF x 1molSif = 1.5 mol SiF, produced
‘4 mol HF
45 mol x LmolSif, = 4.5 mol Sif, produced
1 mol SiO,
Under ideal conditions, the 6 mol of HF can make 1.5 mol of Sif, and the 4.5 mol of SiO, can
make 4.5 mol Sif,. Since the HF can only make 1.5 mol of SiF,, it is the limiting reactant.
Example: 3Fe + 4H,0 —*> FeO, + Hy
1. When 36 g of H20 is mixed with 67 g of Fe, which reactant is the limiting reactant?
Convert the grams to moles, or
36gH,0 x 1molH,O x LmolFe,0, = 0.5 mol FeO,
18gH0 — 4molH,0
67gFe x 1molfe x 1molFe,0, = 0.4mol FeO,
56g Fe 3 mol Fe
‘Therefore, Fe is the limiting reactant. H,0 is the excess reactant.
2. What is the mass in grams of iron oxide produced?
Using the limiting reactant (67 g of Fe) in the reaction, 0.4 mol of FesO,was produced.
Convert this to grams.
0.4 mol Fe,0, x 232g FeO, = 93g FesO,
L mol Fe;0,
3. What mass of excess reactant is left when the reaction is complete?
0.4 mol Fes, x 4molH,0 x 18gH,0 = 29g H,0
Amol Fe, 1 mol H;0
36 grams - 29 grams = 7 grams left over.wv.
Percentage Yield
‘A. The ideal stoichiometric yield for chemical reactions is considered the theoretical yield and
assumes that 100% of the reactants will react. In reality most reactions do not proceed to
100% and produce less than possible. This is known as the actual yield
B. Using the actual yield and comparing it to the theoretical yield the percentage yield of a
reaction can be determined.
Percentage Yield = actualvield 499
theoretical yield
C. Theoretical yield: The maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given
amount of reactant.
D. Actual yield: The measured amount of product produced from a reaction.
E. Example: Ce + Cle —P GHC] + HCI
When 36.8 g of CH, reacts with an excess of Cl,, the actual yield of C:HsCl is 38.8 g. What is.
