Study Notes

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is a mathematical process for calculating amounts of products and reactants in a reaction.
It's based on the law of conservation of mass.
Coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent the ratio of different compounds involved in the reaction.

It shows how to determine needed ingredients to make multiple servings of a recipe.
This comparison demonstrates proportional reasoning.

Stoichiometric Ratio

This ratio is a mathematical relationship between variables.
It's a proportion that applies to specific values to solve for an unknown quantity.
The stoichiometric ratio is the ratio of coefficients in a balanced chemical equation, which can be applied to specific amounts of reactants and products.

Sample Problems

Example 1: Calculating hydrogen needed for a certain amount of ammonia. (Details about the specific problem included in the text).
Example 2: Calculating hydrogen needed to react with a given amount of nitrogen. (Details about the specific problem included in the text).
Example 3: Calculating nitrogen needed to create a certain amount of ammonia. (Details about the specific problem included in the text).

From Molecule Ratio to Mole Ratio

Coefficients in balanced equations also indicate mole ratios of reactants and products.
Sample Problems:
