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:
Determine the number of moles of each element.
Find the simplest mole ratio.
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.
