Lecture 2: Stoichiometry Law of Conservation of Mass Neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Total mass of the reactants before the reaction is equal to the Antoine Lavoisier total mass of the products after the reaction Law of Conservation of Energy Sates that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred between objects. The total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time. Law of Definite Proportion Also known as the Law of Constant Composition. States that a given chemical compound always contains the same elements in the exact same proportion by mass, regardless of the amount of the compound or its source. For example, water (H2O). The mass ratio is always 1:8. Law of Multiple Proportion When two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other elements are in simple whole- number ratios. John Dalton Example: carbon and oxygen can combine to form both CO and CO2. Questions to Consider Can atoms be counted? Mole concept Does the number of atoms in a reaction affect the result? Stoichiometry and balanced reactions Can the mass of a sample be used to determine the number of moles it comprises? Mass to mole using Molecular Weight or Atomic Weight. Stoichiometry Describes quantitative relationships in substances and their reactions – Chemical equations – The mole and molar mass – Chemical formulas – Mass relationships in equations – Limiting reactant Average Mass The term “average mass” often refers to the atomic mass or molecular mass of an element or compound, respectively. Can refer to the average mass of particles in a sample when there are variations due to different isotopes or molecular forms. Atomic Mass (Atomic Weight) For individual elements, the average atomic mass is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of that element. For example, the atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 amu. Molecular Mass (Molecular Weight) For compounds, the average mass refers to the molecular mass, which is the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms in the molecule. Example: Water (H2O) Molecular Mass = (2x 1.008 amu) + (16.00 amu) = 18.016 amu Example When a sample of natural copper is vaporized and injected into a mass spectrometer, the results shown in Fig. 5-3 are obtained. Use these data to compute the average mass of natural copper. (The mass values for 63Cu and 65Cu are 62.93 u and 64.93 u, respectively.) Solution: Mole ✔ The mole is defined as the number equal to the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 grams of pure 12C. 12 g of 12C = 6.022 × 1023 atoms of 12C (Also called Avogadro’s number) ✔ One mole of a substance contains 6.022 × 1023 units of that substance. ✔ A sample of a natural element with a mass equal to the element’s atomic mass expressed in grams contains 1 mole of atoms. Element Number of Atoms Present Mass of Sample (g) Aluminum 6.022 × 1023 26.98 Copper 6.022 × 1023 63.55 Iron 6.022 × 1023 55.85 Sulfur 6.022 × 1023 32.07 Iodine 6.022 × 1023 126.9 Mercury 6.022 × 1023 200.6 Example Americium is an element that does not occur naturally. It can be made in very small amounts in a device known as a particle accelerator. Compute the mass in grams of a sample of americium containing six atoms. Solution Given: 1 mole Americium = 6.022x1023 atoms Americium = 243 g Americium Molar Mass ✔ It is the mass of one mole of the compound measured in grams. Traditionally called molecular weight. ✔ Formula unit - Used for compounds that do not contain molecules. Example: NaCl - Sodium chloride CaCO3 - Calcium carbonate Example Juglone, a dye known for centuries, is produced from the husks of black walnuts. It is also a natural herbicide (weed killer) that kills off competitive plants around the black walnut tree but does not affect grass and other noncompetitive plants. The formula for juglone is C10H6O3. a) Calculate the molar mass of juglone. b) A sample of 1.56 × 10−2 g of pure juglone was extracted from black walnut husks. How many moles of juglone does this sample represent? Solution Percent Composition of a Compound ⮚ In terms of the numbers of its constituent atoms ⮚ In terms of the percentages (mass) of its elements ⮚ Consider ethanol (C2H5OH) Mass Percent ⮚ It is calculated by comparing the mass percent of the element in one mole of the compound with the total mass of one mole of the compound and multiplying the result by 100%. Example: Calculating the mass of carbon in ethanol Example Carvone is a substance that occurs in two forms having different arrangements of atoms but the same molecular formula (C10H14O) and mass. One type of carvone gives caraway seeds their characteristic smell, and the other type is responsible for the smell of spearmint oil. Compute the mass percent of each element in carvone. Carvone is a substance that occurs in two forms having different arrangements of atoms but the same molecular formula (C10H14O) and mass. One type of carvone gives caraway seeds their characteristic smell, and the other type is responsible for the smell of spearmint oil. Compute the mass percent of each element in carvone. Solution Determining the Formula of a Compounds ⮚ Determined by using a weighed sample and one of the following techniques ✔ Decomposing it into its component elements ✔ Introducing oxygen to produce substances such as CO2, H2O, etc., which are collected and weighed Analyzing for Carbon and Hydrogen Empirical and Molecular Formula ⮚ Empirical formula (EF) - the simplest whole-number ratio of the various types of atoms in a compound. Can be obtained from the mass percent of elements in a compound ⮚ The molecular formula (MF) varies for molecules and ions. ✔ For molecular substances, it is the formula of the constituent molecules. Always an integer multiple of the empirical formula. ✔ For ionic substances, it is the same as the empirical formula Steps in Empirical Formula Determination 1. Since mass percentage gives the number of grams of a particular element per 100 grams of compound, base the calculation on 100 grams of compound. Each percent will then represent the mass in grams of that element. 2. Determine the number of moles of each element present in 100 grams of compound using the atomic masses of the elements present 3. Divide each value of the number of moles by the smallest of the values. If each resulting number is a whole number (after appropriate rounding), these numbers represent the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula 4. If the numbers obtained in the previous step are not whole numbers, multiply each number by an integer so that the results are all whole numbers Example Determine the empirical and molecular formulas for a compound that gives the following percentages on analysis (in mass percents): 71.65% Cl, 24.27% C, 4.07% H. The molar mass is known to be 98.96 g/mol Solution Empirical Formula CH2Cl (48.47 g/mol) Molecular Formula C2H4Cl2 (48.47 g/mol) Chemical Reactions ⮚ Involve the reorganization of atoms in one or more substances. ⮚ In a chemical equation, the reactants are situated on the left side of an arrow, and the products are located on the right Bonds are broken and new bonds are formed Both sides possess the same number of atoms Meaning of a Chemical Equation State Symbol ❖ It contains information on: Solid (s) ✔ The nature of the reactants and products Liquid (l) Gas (g) ✔ The relative numbers of each Dissolved in (aq) ❖ Equations also provide the physical state of water (in aqueous the reactants and products solution) Reactants Products CH4 (g) + 2 O2(g) CO2 (g) + 2 H2O(g) 1 molecule + 2 molecules 1 molecule + 2 molecules 1 mol + 2 mol 1 mol + 2 mol 6.022 × 1023 molecules + 2 (6.022 6.022 × 1023 molecules + 2 (6.022 × × 1023 molecules) 1023 molecules) 16 g + 2 (32 g) 44 g + 2 (18 g) 80 g reactants 80 g products Balancing Chemical Equation Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The number of atoms on each side of the equation must be the same. Consider the reaction between methane and oxygen Steps in Balancing a Chemical Equation Step 1. Start with the most complicated molecules. Consider the following unbalanced equation Step 2. The most complicated molecule is C2H5OH. Balancing carbon Balancing hydrogen Balancing oxygen Steps in Balancing a Chemical Equation Step 3. Verifying the results Example Chromium compounds exhibit a variety of bright colors. When solid ammonium dichromate, (NH4)2Cr2O7, a vivid orange compound, is ignited, a spectacular reaction occurs. Although the reaction is actually somewhat more complex, let’s assume here that the products are solid chromium (III) oxide, nitrogen gas (consisting of N2 molecules), and water vapor. Balance the equation for this reaction. The unbalanced equation is: The unbalanced equation is: Note that nitrogen and chromium are balanced (two nitrogen atoms and two chromium atoms on each side), but hydrogen and oxygen are not. A coefficient of 4 for H2O balances the hydrogen atoms.
