Chapter 3 Chapter 2 : Composition stoichiometry – the relative ratios of different elements within one particular compound or molecule Chapter 3 : Reaction stoichiometry – the relative ratios between different substances as they react with each other Reactants. products. | | change | | NaOH + HCl à NaCl + H 2 O | not? | chemical equation Law of conservation of matter – a balanced chemical equation must always include the same # of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation.
Chapter 3 Ex. 1 ) CH 4 + 2 O 2 à CO 2 + 2 H 2 O Ex. 2 ) The combustion of propane (‘burning’) C 3 H 8 + O 2 à CO 2 + H 2 O C 3 H 8 + 5 O 2 à 3 CO 2 + 4 H 2 O What if we write 2 C 3 H 8 + 10 O 2 à 6 CO 2 + 8 H 2 O
Chapter 3 Chemical equations are a powerful ‘planning’tool: If I want to make NaCl, I now have a recipe! NaOH + HCl à NaCl + H 2 O If I want to make 27 formula units of NaCl, how many units of the following ingredients do I need? NaOH 27 HCl 27 but chemists work with large amounts – use moles.
Chapter 3 Calculations involving balanced equations. Consider the following cooking analogy: chicken breasts + veggies + oil + rice à stir fry we can use the recipe to write a balanced equation: 4 chicken 8 cups 3 tbsp 4 cups 8 servings breasts + veggies + oil + rice à stir fry But what if we only have 4 dinner guests (+ yourself) and we want to cut back on the amount of food we make? How much chicken do we need? How many cups of vegetables? We set up a ratio that relates the ingredients to one another. 5 servings x 4 chicken breasts = 2. 5 chicken 8 servings breasts 5 servings x 8 cups veggies = 5 cups 8 servings veggies

Chapter 3 Problem solving strategy:
Chapter 3 What is the maximum mass of sulfur dioxide which can be obtained from the reaction of 95. 6 g of carbon disulfide with
Chapter 3 Problem solving strategy:
Chapter 3 We have done a lot of calculations between moles and grams. However, a lot of reactions happen in water. Solution – a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances (ex. NaCl in H 2 O) Solute – a substance that is dissolved in another substance (NaCl) Solvent – the substance in which the other substance is dissolved (H 2 O, liquid) Aqueous solution – when solvent is H 2 O For a given quantity of a solution, how can we know:
Chapter 3 Percent by mass: Percent solute = mass of solute x 100 mass of solution ex. if we have 20. 0 g NaOH dissolved in H 2 O to make 250. g of solution, what is the percent by mass of NaOH?
Chapter 3 Molarity (another concentration) Figure 3. 2 Molarity = # moles solute.
ex. calculate the molarity of 40. 0 g NaOH in 0. 50 L of solution. Molar mass NaOH = 40. 00 g/mol
