What happens
when one reactant
runs out?
Stoichiometry is
the part of chemistry
that deals with the
quantitative relationships
between reactants and
products in a chemical
reaction. It is based on
the Law of Conservation
of Mass, which states
that matter cannot be
created or destroyed in a
chemical reaction.
Key Concepts of Stoichiometry
1. Balanced Chemical Equations – Stoichiometry relies on balanced
equations to ensure the number of atoms of each element is the same on
both sides.
2. Mole Ratios – The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation show the
ratio of moles of reactants and products.
3. Mass Relationships – Using molar mass, we can calculate the amount of
reactants needed or products formed.
4. Limiting Reactants – The limiting reactant is the substance that runs out
first, determining how much product is formed.
5. Theoretical yield – It is the maximum amount of product that can be
formed in a chemical reaction based on the limiting reactant and the
balanced chemical equation.
How to calculate the molar of a
substance?
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance (element or compound)
and is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is calculated by summing the
atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule.
For example:
The molar mass of water (H₂O) is calculated as:
Hydrogen (H) = 1.008 g/mol × 2 = 2.016 g/mol
Oxygen (O) = 16.00 g/mol
Total molar mass of H₂O = 18.016 g/mol
Molar mass is important in chemistry for converting between grams and moles,
which helps in stoichiometric calculations and chemical reactions.
Steps to Calculate the Molar Mass
of a Substance:
1. Identify the chemical formula of the substance (e.g., H₂O, CO₂,
NaCl).
2. Find the atomic masses of each element from the periodic table (in
atomic mass units, amu).
3. Multiply each atomic mass by the number of atoms of that
element in the formula.
4. Add up all the values to get the total molar mass in grams per mole
(g/mol).
Final Answer:
There are 2.00 moles of water in 36.0 grams of H₂O.
