Stoichiometry: Calculating the Amount of Reactants and Products in a Chemical Reaction Flashcards
The word is derived from the Greek terms stoicheion meaning element and metron meaning to measure.
TRUE
What does stoichiometric calculations show?
MOLAR RELATIONSHIP between reactants and products.
Stoichiometric factors cannot allow you to compute products from reactants and vice-versa.
TRUE
what are the steps? (4)
mass of sub A - mol of sub A - mol of sub B - mass of sub B
-the dash means CONVERT TO. mass of sub A convert to mol of sub B ganun
What is a stochiometric ratio or molar ratio?
describe the relationship between two chemical species in a given chemical reaction.
Quantitative relationships involved in a chemical reaction. What is this?
other meaning of STOCHIOMETRY.
Mathematically, stochiometric or molar ratios can be expressed as ratios or fractions.
TRUE
given chemical reaction: 4 Fe + 3 O -> 2 Fe2O3
4 mol Fe: 2 mol Fe2O3. What does this mean?
this is the stochiometric/molar ratio.
4 mol Fe: 2 mol Fe2O3
in the given chemical reaction, 4 moles of Fe are needed to form 2 moles of Fe2O3
