STOICHIOMETRY OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

(Q3 U2)

STOICHIOMETRY The study of the quantitative relationships between

reactants and products in a reaction It is used to answer questions like; If I have this much

reactant, how much product can I make? If I want this much product, how much reactant do I need?

These questions have real life application, particularly in manufacturing.

It allows us to convert the mass of a substance to the number of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) it contains.

These numbers can be really large, so they are counted in groups

Much like when we count a lot of pennies we stack them in 10’s and count by 10

The Mole Atoms are very tiny, so small that the grouping we use to count them must be very large MOLE; the group (unit of measure) used to

count atoms, molecules, formula units or ions of a substance

1 mole of a substance has a particular number of particles in it! Much like 1 dozen always means 12; whether it is 12 eggs 12 oranges or 12

gold bars

How many particles are in a mole?

The number of particles in a mole = 6.02 x 10 23 or 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 !

This is known as Avogadro’s Number

Using this, We can easily count the number of particles in all kinds of things !

Counting Particles in a MoleThere are 6.02 x 10 23 Carbon atoms in a mole of

carbon There are 6.02 x 10 23 CO2 molecules in a mole of CO2

There are 6.02 x 10 23 sodium ions in a mole of sodium

There are 6.02 x 10 23 marbles in a mole of marbles

That’s a lot of marbles!

The Size of a mole of a substance changes, the bigger the substance the more space a mole of the substance takes up, but the number of particles in a mole is always the same!

A Mole of Water

Molar Mass Chemicals do not come bundled in moles, like a

dozen eggs comes in a 1 dozen or 1 ½ dozen package so we use the mole as a grouping unit.

The mass of 1 mole of a pure substance called it’s molar mass

If I want to produce 500g of methanol using the following equation, CO2 +3H2 CH3OH + H20 how many grams of CO2 and H2 do I need?

These are the questions stoichiometry answers!

What do we need to know to answer this?

If I want to produce 500g of methanol using the following equation;

CO2 +3H2 CH3OH + H20 How many grams of CO2 and H2 do I need?

This equation relates the molecules of reactants and products, NOT THEIR MASSES! 1 molecule of CO2 and 3 molecules of H2 will make 1

molecule of CH3OHWe need to relate the masses to the number of

molecules.

Relating Mass to Moles

Remember; The average atomic masses of the elements are found on the Periodic Table!

We can use the atomic masses on the PT to relate the mass of the compound to the mass of a mole!

Molar Mass and Formula Mass

Molar mass: The mass (in grams)of one mole of a molecule or a formula unit

Molecular mass: mass in atomic mass units of just one molecule

Formula Mass: mass in atomic mass units of one formula unit of an ionic compound

Relating the Mass of an Atom to the Mass of a Mole of substance.

Steps1. Find the average Atomic Mass of the element on

the PT. (state it in grams instead of atomic units)a) Example: molar mass of Fe = 55.847 gb) Example: molar mass of Pt = 195.08 g

2. If the element is a molecule, count the number of atoms in the molecule then multiply the atomic mass by the number of atoms.

a) Example: O2, the mass of O =16.0g There are 2 atoms of O in the O2 molecule , 2 atoms X 16.0g = 32.00g is the molar mass of the molecule.

Let’s PracticeCalculate the molar mass of each of

the following:1. N2

2. Cl23. Br2

4. I25. H2

6. F2

Molar Mass AnswersCalculate the molar mass of each of the

following:1. N2 = 14.007g X 2 =28.014 g/mol2. Cl2 = 35.453g X 2 =70.906 g/mol3. Br2 = 79.904g X 2 =159.808 g/mol 4. I2 = 126.904g X 2 =253.808 g/mol5. H2 = 1.008g X 2 =2.016 g/mol6. F2 = 18.998g X 2 =37.996 g/mol

Now, let’s do the same for an example reaction!

Steps1. Count the number and type of atoms2. Find the Atomic Mass of each atom type,

on the periodic table. Write it in grams.3. Multiply the mass times the # of Atoms.

Then add the totals

How do we calculate Molar Mass?1. Count the number and type of atomsEthanol (C2H5OH)

2. Find the Atomic Mass of each atom type, on the periodic table. Write it in grams.
