StoichiometryO Calculation of quantities in chemical
equationsO From Greek words
O Stoichion = elementO Metron = measure
Two types of Stoichiometry1. The mole relationships of elements in
compounds (empirical formulas)
H3PO4
2. The mole relationships of reactants and products in a chemical equations (balanced equations)
2 H2 + O2 2H2O
Chemical EquationsO All balanced equations are always based on
the units of the mole
N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3
Translated:1 mol N2 + 3 mol H2 2 mol NH3
Mole RatioO A conversion factor that relates the # of
moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction
O Comes from a balanced equation
5 Types of Stoichiometry problems
1. Mole-mole2. Mass-mass3. Volume-volume4. Particle-particle5. Mixed problems

2 slices bread + 2 slices cheese = 1 grilled cheese sandwich
How Many Sandwiches?O If I have 12 slices bread?
O If I have 6 slices cheese?
O If I have 12 slices of bread and 6 slices of cheese?
The amount of cheese limits how many sandwiches you can make. All of it’s used!
Bread is in excess which means there is some bread left over.
Limiting ReagentO Limiting Reagent = The reactant that
limits the amount of products madeO Gets completely used up in a reaction
O Excess reagent = the reactant that is not used up completelyO There is more than enough leftover
Steps to determine LR & ER
1. Set up two mass-mass problems.
2. Compare the amounts of product.
3. Identify Limiting reagent = reactant that makes the least amount of product.
4. Determine how much ER is used based on the amount of LR given in a third mass-mass problem.
5. Subtract the amount of ER used from the given amount to determine how much ER is leftover.

Percent YieldO Used to determine how accurate a person is in
the labO Percent yield = actual yield X
100 theoretical yield
O Actual yield = the amount of product produced in the lab
O Theoretical yield = the amount of product that should have been produced in theory
EX; Percent YieldO What is the percent yield if John made 15.87
g of chalk and he calculated that he should have made 22.5 grams of chalk?O Actual yield = O Theoretical yield = O Percent yield =
