Ch 9 Section 1 Flashcards
composition stoichiometry deals with the mass relationships of
elements in compounds
reaction stoichiometry involves the mass relationships between
reactants and products in a chemical reaction
reaction stoichiometry is based on chemical
equations and the law of conservation of mass
all reaction stoichiometry calculations start with a
balanced chemical equation
this balanced chemical equation gives the relative numbers of
moles of reactants and products
reaction stoichiometry problems can be classified according to the information….and the information you are….
given in the problem; expected to find, the unknown
given and unknown may both be
reactants, products, or one may be a reactant and the other a product
masses are generally expressed in
grams
stoichiometric problems are solved by using ratios from the balanced equation to
convert the given quantity by using methods described
when amount in moles is given and you must find amount in moles of another substance general plan is:
amount of given substance (mol)→
amount of unknown substance (mol)
when given amount in moles and asked to calculate the mass of another substance, general plan is:
amount of given substance (mol)→
amount of unknown substance (mol)→mass of unknown substance (g)
when given mass of one substance and asked to calculate moles of another, general plan is:
mass of given substance (g)→
amount of given substance (mol)→amount of unknown substance(mol)
when you are given the mass of a substance and asked to calculate mass of another substance, general plan is:
mass of given substance (g)→
amount of given substance (mol)→ amount of unknown substance (mol)→mass of unknown substance (g)
solving any reaction stoichiometry problem requires the use of a mole ratio to convert from moles or grams of one substance to
moles or grams of another substance
a mole ratio is a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any
two substances involved in a chemical reaction
