StoichiometryStoichiometry

This is the study of quantities, or measurable relationships, that exist in chemical reactions.

The coefficients in balanced chemical equations always refer to the moles of chemicals that are needed.

Example: Na + O2 Na2O If you start with 8.0 moles of Na, how

many moles of Na2O will you have when the reaction is complete?

4 2

Start with the quantity given to you in the problem.

Significant digits!

Mole Ratio from balanced equation.

8.0 mol Na 2 mol Na2O

4 mol Na= 4.0 mol Na2O

4 Na + O2 2 Na2O

Example: (Using same reaction…) If you start with 92.0 g of Na, how

many grams of Na2O will you have at the end of the reaction?

23.0 g Na
