A Short Review

The molar mass of an element is its atomic mass in grams. It contains 6.022 x 1023 atoms (Avogadros number) of the element.

The molar mass of an element or compound is the sum of the atomic masses of all its atoms.

Formula Weight
Formula weight: weight the sum of the atomic weights in atomic mass units (amu) of all atoms in a compounds formula:
Ionic Compounds Sodium chloride (NaCl) 23.0 amu Na + 35.5 amu Cl = 58.5 amu Nickel(II) chloride hydrate 58.7 amu Ni + 2(35.5 amu Cl) + (NiCl26H2 O) 12(1.0) amu H) + 6(12.0 amu O) = 237.7 amu Molecular Compounds Water (H2O) Aspirin (C 9H8O4 ) 2(1.0 amu H) + 16.0 amu O = 18.0 amu 9(12.0 amu C) + 8(1.0 amu H) + 4(16.0 amu O) = 180.0 amu

Formula Weight
Formula weight can be used for both ionic and molecular compounds; it tells nothing about whether a compound is ionic or molecular. Molecular weight should be used only for molecular compounds. For comparison, we use formula weight for ionic compounds and molecular weight for molecular compounds.

Introduction to Stoichiometry: The Mole-Ratio Method

11

Stoichiometry: The area of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products. Mole Ratio: a ratio between the moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction.
The coefficients used in mole ratio expressions are derived from the coefficients used in the balanced 12 equation.

The Mole Ratio Method


1. Convert the quantity of starting substance to moles (if it is not already moles) 2. Convert the moles of starting substance to moles of desired substance. 3. Convert the moles of desired substance to the units specified in the problem.

Stoichiometry
Problem: how many grams of nitrogen, N2, are required to produce 7.50 g of ammonia, NH3
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3 ( g)

first find how many moles of NH3 are in 1 mol NH3 7.50 g of 7.50 g NH NH3 3 x = mol NH3
17.0 g NH3

next find how many moles of N2 are required to produce of NH3 1 mol NH3this many 1 molmoles N2
7.50 g NH3 x 17.0 g NH3 x 2 mol NH3 = mol N2

Stoichiometry
Finally convert moles of N2 to grams of N2 and now do the math
7.50 g NH3 x 1 mol NH3 17.0 g NH3 x 1 mol N2 2 mol NH3 x 28.0 g N2 1 mol N2 = 6.18 g N2

Step 1. Determine the number of moles of starting substance.

Identify the starting substance from the data given in the problem statement. Convert the quantity of the starting substance to moles, if it is not already done. 1 mole moles = grams molar mass
21

Step 2. Determine the mole ratio of the desired substance to the starting substance. The number of moles of each substance in the balanced equation is indicated by the coefficient in front of each substance. Use these coefficients to set up the mole ratio.
moles of desired substance in the equation mole ratio = moles of starting substance in the equation
22

Step 2. Determine the mole ratio of the desired substance to the starting substance.

Multiply the number of moles of starting substance (from Step 1) by the mole ratio to obtain the number of moles of desired substance.
moles of desired substance in the equation moles of desired substance = moles of starting substance moles of starting substance in the equation

Limiting Reactant/Reagent

65

The limiting reactant/reagent is one of the reactants in a chemical reaction. It is called the limiting reactant because the amount of it present is insufficient to react with the amounts of other reactants that are present. The limiting reactant limits the amount of product that can be formed.

Reaction Yield

76

The quantities of products calculated from equations represent the maximum yield (100%) of product according to the reaction represented by the equation.

77

Many reactions fail to give a 100% yield of product. This occurs because of side reactions and the fact that many reactions are reversible.

78

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the calculated amount of product that can be obtained from a given amount of reactant. The actual yield is the amount of product finally obtained from a given amount of reactant.
79

The percent yield of a reaction is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

actual yield x 100 = percent yield theoretical yield
