Study Notes
Stoichiometry Fundamentals
- Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- It's derived from Greek words meaning "element" and "measure."
- Coined by Jeremias Richter, a German chemist.
- Stoichiometry uses balanced chemical equations to calculate the amounts of substances involved.
- It relies on the principles of conservation of mass, energy, and the weights/volumes of substances in a reaction.
Defining Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry determines the amounts of reactants and products in a reaction.
- Mole ratios from balanced equations are crucial for calculations.
- The amount of each substance present influences reactions.
Stoichiometric Coefficients
- Stoichiometric coefficients are the numbers in front of atoms/molecules/ions in a balanced equation.
- They represent the molar ratio between reactants and products.
- Coefficients can be whole numbers or fractions.
- Balanced equations have an equal number of each element on both sides.
Moles and Molar Mass
- Moles are used to represent large numbers of atoms/molecules.
- One mole contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) particles.
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance (in grams), numerically equal to its atomic/molecular formula mass.
- For gaseous reactants/products, molar volume (22.4 L/mol) applies.
Limiting Reagents
- Limiting reagents are reactants completely used up in a reaction.
- Excess reactants remain after the reaction concludes.
- Determine the limiting reagent by comparing the mole ratios in the balanced reaction to the given amounts of reactants.
Stoichiometry in Analysis
-
Stoichiometry is applied in chemical analysis methods.
-
Gravimetric analysis uses mass measurements of a substance to determine its concentration.
-
Volumetric analysis uses volume measurements to determine the concentrations of substances.
Calculations Examples
-
Stoichiometric calculations are used to determine unknown quantities or concentrations from known ones.
-
Example problems cover calculating masses of substances, volumes of solutions (often in dilution problems), or percentages of mixtures.
-
These calculations involve balancing chemical reactions and using molar mass and molar volume as needed.
