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.
