Analyse: An excess of O2 means the complete conversion of the organic matter, C6H14O4, to CO2 & H2O. The factor for converting from moles of C6H14O4 to moles of CO2 is obtained from the balanced equation for the combustion reaction. Solve: The first step in a stoichiometric calculation is to write a balanced equation for the reaction: 2 C6H14O4 + 15 O2 → 12 CO2 + 14 H2O Thus, 12 mol CO2 are produced for every 2 mol C6H14O4 burned or consumed; therefore, this is used as the conversion factor to obtain the required moles of CO2: 12 mol CO2 ? mol CO2 = 2.72 mol C6H14O4 x = 𝟏𝟔. 𝟑 𝐦𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐎𝟐 2 mol C6H14O4 11 N.B: Can also be solved using two equal ratios approach, with one unknown Cont’d Example: Relating the mass of a reactant & product Compute the mass of CO2 that is formed in the reaction of 4.16 g of triethylene glycol, C6H14O4, with an excess of O2.

Having identified Cl2 as the limiting reactant, we can complete the calculation using a conversion pathway approach: 1 mol Cl2 4 mol PCl3 137.324 g PCl3 ? g PCl3 = 323 g Cl2 x x x = 𝟒𝟏𝟕 𝐠 PCl3 70.91 g Cl2 6 mol Cl2 1 mol PCl3 30 Cont’d Example 2: Determining the quantity of excess reactant(s) remaining after a reaction Calculate the mass of P4 remaining following the reaction in the previous slide, Example 1. P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g) → 4 PCl3(l) Analyse: We know that the limiting reactant is Cl2 & P4 is the excess reactant. The key issue is to calculate the mass of P4 that is consumed, we base this on either on the mass of Cl2 consumed or on the mass of PCl3 produced. The mass of P4 that remains is calculated by subtracting the mass of P4 that is consumed from the total mass of P4. Solve: Using a conversion pathway approach, we proceed as follows: 1 mol Cl2 1 mol P4 123.896 g P4 ? g P4 = 323 g Cl2 x x x = 𝟗𝟒. 𝟏 𝐠 P4 70.91 g Cl2 6 mol Cl2 1 mol P4 The mass of P4 remaining after the reaction: 125 g P4 initially – 94.1 g P4 consumed= 31 g remaining. 31 Practical Matters in Reaction Stoichiometry Theoretical yield, Actual Yield, & Percent Yield: ▪ These concept are applicable in the lab or manufacturing industry. ▪ Theoretical yield of a reaction is the calculated quantity of product expected from given quantities of reactants. ▪ The quantity of product that is actually produced is called the actual yield. ▪ Therefore, the percent yield is defined as: actual yield Percent yield = 𝑥 100% theoretical yield ▪ If the actual yield is almost exactly equals the theoretical yield, the reactions are said to be quantitative (such reactions can be used in quantitative chemical analyses). ▪ The actual yield for some reactions can be less than the theoretical yield (< 100%) due to purification steps, reverse reaction, or side reactions (unintended products called by-products). ▪ If the actual yield gives an apparent yield greater than 100%, this indicates an error in technique, when product is weighed wet with solvent, or contamination with an excess reactant or a by-product. 32 Cont’d Example: Determining Theoretical, Actual, & Percent Yields Billions of kilograms of urea, CO(NH2)2, are produced annually for use as a fertilizer. The reaction used is given below: 2 NH3(g) + CO2 → CO(NH2)2(s) + H2O(l) The typical starting reaction mixture has a 3:1 mole ratio of NH3 to CO2. If 47.7 g urea forms per mole of CO2 that reacts, calculate the (a) theoretical yield; (b) actual yield; & (c) percent yield. Analyse: The reaction mixture contains fixed amounts of NH3 & CO2, 1st find the limiting reactant. The stoichiometric proportions are 2 mol NH3: 1 mol CO2, but the reaction mixture has the mole ratio of NH3 to CO2 3:1, therefore, CO2 is the limiting reactant & NH3 is the excess reactant. Solve: (a) Use the conversion pathway approach: 1 mol CO(NH2)2 60.056 g CO(NH2)2 ? Theoretical yield, urea = 1.00 mol CO2 x x = 𝟔𝟎. 𝟏 𝐠 CO(NH2)2 1 mol CO2 1 mol CO(NH2)2 (b) Actual yield = 47.7 g CO(NH2)2 47.7 g CO(NH2)2 (c) Percent yield = 𝑥 100% = 𝟕𝟗. 𝟒% 60.1 g CO(NH2)2 33 Cont’d Example: Adjusting the quantities of reactants in accordance with the percent yield of a reaction When heated with sulfuric or phosphoric acid, cyclohexanol, C6H11OH, is converted to cyclohexene, C6H10. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is shown below: C6H11OH(l) → C6H10 + H2O(l) If the percent yield is 83%, calculate the mass of cyclohexanol that must be used to obtain 25 g of cyclohexene. Analyse: Given the percent yield (83%) & actual yield of C6H10 (25 g), then the theoretical yield of C6H10 can be calculated. The quantity of C6H11OH required to produce the theoretical yield of C6H10 can be determined using a series of conversion factors (molar mass & mole ratio) Solve: 25 g x 100% First, calculate the theoretical yield: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐲𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 = = 𝟑. 𝟎 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟏 𝐠 83% (𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝟑𝟎, 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑚𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 2 𝑠. 𝑓. ). Using a conversion pathway approach to complete computation, we proceed as follows: 1 mol C6H10 1 mol C6H11OH 100.161 g C6H11OH ? g C6H11OH = 30. g C6H10 x x x = 𝟑𝟕. 𝐠 C6H11OH 82.146 g C6H10 1 mol C6H10 1 mol C6H11OH 34 Cont’d Consecutive, Simultaneous, & Overall Reactions: ▪ Both in laboratory work & in manufacturing, the preferred processes are those that yield a product through a single reaction. ▪ Often such processes give a higher yield becoz there is no need to remove products from one reaction mixture for further processing in subsequent reactions. ▪ In some cases, a multi-step process is inevitable. ▪ Consecutive reactions: Are reactions carried out one after another in sequence to yield a final product. ▪ In a calculation, use a stoichiometric factor for each reaction. ▪ Simultaneous reactions: two or more substances react independently of one another in separate reactions occurring at the same time. 35 Cont’d Example: Calculating the quantity of a substance produced by reactions occurring consecutively Titanium dioxide, TiO2, is the most widely used white pigment for paints, having displaced most lead-based pigments, which are environment hazards. Before it can be used, however, naturally occurring TiO2 must be freed of coloured impurities. One process for doing this converts impure TiO2(s) to TiCl4(g), which is then converted back to pure TiO2(s). The process is based on the following reactions, the first of which generates TiCl4. 2 TiO2(s) (impure) + 3 C(s) + 4 Cl2(g) → 2 TiCl4(g) + CO2(g) + 2 CO(g) (eqn 1) TiCl4(g) + O2(g) → TiO2(s) + 2 Cl2(g) (eqn 2) Compute the mass of carbon consumed to produce 1.00 kg of pure TiO2(s) in this process. Analyse: Begin with the product, TiO2, focus on the second reaction & work backward to one of the reactant, C. Use conversion factors (molar mass & mole ratio).

One particular alloy contains 70.0% Al & 30.0% Mg, by mass. Predict how many grams of H2(g) are produced in the reaction of a 0.710 g sample of this alloy with excess HCl(aq). Balanced chemical equations are given below for the reactions that occur. 2 Al(s) + 6 HCl(aq) + 4 Cl2(g) → 2 AlCl3(aq) + 3 H2(g) (eqn 1) Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) (eqn 2) Analyse: These two reactions are simultaneous reactions & occur independently. The total amount of H2 produced is obtained by adding together the amounts produced by each reaction. Use a stoichiometric factor (or mole ratio) to convert from mol Al to mol H2 & from mol Mg to mol H2. Convert percent masses to masses by assuming 100.0 g sample, & then convert from gram alloy to mol (Al & Mg) using molar masses.

Note: ▪ For reactants, the changes in amount are negative (their amounts decrease), whereas for products, the changes in amount are positive (their amounts increase). ▪ The changes in amount are not independent of each other. They are each multiple of the same change 41 Cont’d Examples: Calculating the Extent of Reaction (a) State the stochiometric coefficients for the following reaction, which occurs to a limited extent at 25 oC: 4 KO2(s) + 2 CO2(g) → 2K2CO3(s) + 3O2(g) (b) In an experiment carried out at 25 oC, a reaction mixture containing 2.478 mol KO2 and 0.979 mol CO2 yields 1.128 mol O2.
