Stoichiometry
the study of the quantitative relationship between chemical formulas and chemical equations
element; measure
stoichiometry origins: stoicheion meaning , metron meaning_
composition stoichiometry
the mass relationship of elements in compounds
reaction stoichiometry
the mass relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction/change
mole
a counting unit in science which is equivalent to 6.022*10^23 molecules, particles, formula units, or atoms of a substance
given/known
information within an analytical problem with both known number values/quantities and known units
unknown/find
information within an analytical problem that is expected to be determined with unknown numbers/values but known units
Products
symbol (P); new substances formed from change; found after the arrow symbol; formed when new bonds are formed
reactants
symbol (R); original substances that undergo change; found before the change arrow; have bonds broken
law of conservation of mass
matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but is conserved
coefficients
small whole numbers placed in front of each substance in a chemical equation to balance the products and reactants
mole ratio
a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier
considered the father of modern chemistry; helped establish chemistry as a science; emphasized the importance of quantitative analysis
composition stoichiometry equation
Moles(compound) → moles(elements)
reaction stoichiometry equation
? mole x → ? mole y
molar mass
symbol :Mx; the total mass of a mole of substance
molar mass equation
? g x = 1 mole x

Ideal stoichiometric condition
assumption within stoichiometry where all reactants are completely converted into products
Limiting reagent
symbol: L.R.; reactant substance that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction
limiting reagent importance
determines or limits the amount of products formed
excess reagent
symbol: E.R. or EXR; reactant substance that remains after completion of chemical reaction or reactant substance that is partially consumed
consumed excess reactant
reactant amount used or rearranged or consumed by the chemical reaction
original excess reactant
reactant amount at the beginning before any chemical reaction has occured
theoretical yield
symbol TY; the maximum amount of a product that can be possibly produced from a given amount of reactant when all of this reactant is consumed
actual yield
symbol AY; the measured amount of a product obtained from a reaction that is collected in the lab
AY importance
can never be greater than the TY
percent yield
symbol PY; the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield multiplied by 100
PY=AY/TY*100
PY equation
AY=(PY)(TY)/100
AY equation
TY=AY/PY*100
TY euation
80-95%
ideal PY
PY importance
the higher the PY, the more effective the chemical reaction
over 100% PY
___ means possible contamination; possible impurity from unused [unreacted] reactant(will be on test); means the AY is larger than the TY, which is impossible unless something went wrong
better technique; better equipment; larger reaction/sample size
How can the PY of a chemical reaction be improved?
Standard stoichiometry
one given, one unknown, no mention of L.R. or E.R.; use the DiAn to determine how many steps within mole map
Stoichiometry with pre-identified L.R.
given L.R., TY is unknown; convert the units of limiting reagent into the units of the specified product, the result is the TY
stoichiometry with unidentified L.R.
multiple givens; label all the reactants and products, convert all given reactants into units of a chosen product(multiple setups), compare the product when all units are the same
the lowest product is the TY, the higher product is false
how to identify the TY with two values
percent yield stoichiometry
asks for PY, AY, or TY
remaining excess reagent stoichiometry
unknown is how much excess; identify the L.R. and E.R. reactants, use Di An and convert L.R. units into excess reagent units, subtract consumed
Original-consumed=remaining
remaining excess reagent equation
