Study Notes
Mole Ratios and Stoichiometry
- Mole ratios show the relative amounts of substances involved in a chemical reaction.
- A chemical equation must be balanced to determine the mole ratio because it ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides.
- The process of determining how much of one substance will be present if the amount of another substance in a chemical reaction is known is called stoichiometry.
Stoichiometry Problems
- In stoichiometry problems, the given amount and mole ratio are written as (amount of given substance) × (mole ratio).
- The units for the moles of the given substance cancel out in stoichiometry problems.
Stoichiometry Applications
- Stoichiometry is a way to determine the amount of a substance by using the amount of another substance in a chemical reaction.
- Stoichiometry problems always start with a balanced equation because it ensures the correct mole ratios.
- Stoichiometry can be used to find the moles or mass of a substance when the moles or mass of another substance in a reaction are given.
Finding Mass of a Substance
- When finding the mass of a substance when the moles of another substance are given, the following steps occur:
- Multiply the moles of the given substance by the mole ratio.
- Multiply the result by the molar mass of the substance.
Mole Ratios and Coefficients
- Mole ratios help to determine the amount of substances involved in a chemical reaction.
- The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation are directly related to mole ratios.
- The purpose of using mole ratios in stoichiometry is to determine the amount of substances involved in a chemical reaction.
