Chapter 3: Stoichiometry of Formulas and Equations

Overview

• Focus on mole-mass relationships in chemical systems, fundamentals of solution stoichiometry, determining formulas, and balancing equations.

3-1 The Mole

• Definition: The mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains the same number of entities (atoms, ions, molecules, formula units, or electrons) as there are in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.

• Avogadro's Number: 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ entities, abbreviated as N.

3-2 Molar Mass

• Molar Mass (M): Mass per mole of its entities.

  • For monatomic elements, the molar mass is equal to the atomic mass (in grams per mole).

  • Example: Molar mass of Neon (Ne) = 20.18 g/mol.

3-3 Mass-Mole Relationships

• Elements & Compounds: Understanding mass relationships for both.

• Chemical Formulas: Important for calculating amounts based on mole ratios.

3-4 Empirical and Molecular Formulas

• Empirical Formula: Simplest ratio of elements.

  • Example: Hydrogen peroxide has an empirical formula of HO.

• Molecular Formula: Actual number of atoms of each element in the molecule, e.g., H₂O₂ for hydrogen peroxide.

  • Finding Empirical Formula:

    1. Determine the number of moles of each element.

    2. Find the simplest mole ratio.

    3. Express as whole integers.

  • Finding Molecular Formula: Determine how many times the empirical formula fits into the actual compound's molar mass.

3-5 Stoichiometry in Reactions

• Stoichiometric Calculations: Utilize balanced chemical equations.

  • Coefficients = relative number of reactant/product particles and moles.

  • Molar ratios serve as conversion factors for mass calculations.

3-6 Theoretical and Actual Yield

• Theoretical Yield: Maximum product calculated based on reactions.

• Actual Yield: Amount of product obtained from the reaction.

• Percent Yield Calculation:

  • % Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100.

3-7 Limiting Reactants

• The limiting reactant is completely consumed, while the excess reactant remains.

• Importance of identifying limiting reactants to accurately calculate yields.

3-8 Solution Stoichiometry

• Solutions: Mixtures of solutes dissolved in solvents.

• Molarity (M): Concentration expressed as moles of solute per liter of solution.

  • Formula: M = moles of solute / liters of solution.

• Relationships in solution: mass, mole, volume interactions critical for stoichiometric calculations.

3-9 Summary of Key Concepts

• Understanding molar mass, conversions, stoichiometric calculations, and practical applications is essential for solving problems in chemistry effectively.

• Exercise Practice: Engaging with exercises and practice problems to reinforce concepts is crucial for mastery.
