Mass Relationships in Chemical Reactions Chapter 3

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units (amu) Micro World atoms & molecules Macro World grams Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units (amu) By definition: 1 atom 12C “weighs” 12 amu On this scale 1H = 1.008 amu 16O = 16.00 amu 3.1

Average atomic mass of lithium: Natural lithium is: 7.42% 6Li (6.015 amu) 92.58% 7Li (7.016 amu) Average atomic mass of lithium: (7.42% x 6.015) + (92.58% x 7.016) 100 = 6.941 amu 3.1

Types of Formulas Empirical Formula The formula of a compound that expresses the smallest whole number ratio of the atoms present. Ionic formula are always empirical formula Molecular Formula The formula that states the actual number of each kind of atom found in one molecule of the compound.

To obtain an Empirical Formula 1. Determine the mass in grams of each element present, if necessary. 2. Calculate the number of moles of each element. 3. Divide each by the smallest number of moles to obtain the simplest whole number ratio. If whole numbers are not obtained* in step 3), multiply through by the smallest number that will give all whole numbers * Be careful! Do not round off numbers prematurely

Limiting Reagents 6 red left over 6 green used up 3.9

Method 1 Pick A Product Try ALL the reactants The lowest answer will be the correct answer The reactant that gives the lowest answer will be the limiting reactant

Limiting Reactant: Method 1 10.0g of aluminum reacts with 35.0 grams of chlorine gas to produce aluminum chloride. Which reactant is limiting, which is in excess, and how much product is produced? 2 Al + 3 Cl2  2 AlCl3 Start with Al: Now Cl2: 10.0 g Al 1 mol Al 2 mol AlCl3 133.5 g AlCl3 27.0 g Al 2 mol Al 1 mol AlCl3 = 49.4g AlCl3 35.0g Cl2 1 mol Cl2 2 mol AlCl3 133.5 g AlCl3 71.0 g Cl2 3 mol Cl2 1 mol AlCl3 = 43.9g AlCl3

Solving for Multiple Products Once you determine the LR, you should only start with it! A + B  X + Y + Z A  X B  X To find Y and Z B  Y B  Z Let’s say B is the LR! There is no need to use A to find Y and Z It will give you the wrong answer – a lot of extra work for nothing

Method 2 Convert one of the reactants to the other REACTANT See if there is enough reactant “A” to use up the other reactants If there is less than the GIVEN amount, it is the limiting reactant Then, you can find the desired species

Do You Understand Limiting Reagents? In one process, 124 g of Al are reacted with 601 g of Fe2O3 2Al + Fe2O3 Al2O3 + 2Fe Calculate the mass of Al2O3 formed. g Al mol Al mol Fe2O3 needed g Fe2O3 needed OR g Fe2O3 mol Fe2O3 mol Al needed g Al needed 1 mol Al 27.0 g Al x 1 mol Fe2O3 2 mol Al x 160. g Fe2O3 1 mol Fe2O3 x = 124 g Al 367 g Fe2O3 Start with 124 g Al need 367 g Fe2O3 Have more Fe2O3 (601 g) so Al is limiting reagent 3.9

Use limiting reagent (Al) to calculate amount of product that can be formed. g Al mol Al mol Al2O3 g Al2O3 2Al + Fe2O3 Al2O3 + 2Fe 1 mol Al 27.0 g Al x 1 mol Al2O3 2 mol Al x 102. g Al2O3 1 mol Al2O3 x = 124 g Al 234 g Al2O3 3.9

Finding Excess Practice 10.0g of aluminum reacts with 35.0 grams of chlorine gas 2 Al + 3 Cl2  2 AlCl3 We found that chlorine is the limiting reactant, and 43.8 g of aluminum chloride are produced. 35.0 g Cl2 1 mol Cl2 2 mol Al 27.0 g Al 71 g Cl2 3 mol Cl2 1 mol Al = 8.8 g Al USED! 10.0 g Al – 8.8 g Al = 1.2 g Al EXCESS Given amount of excess reactant Amount of excess reactant actually used Note that we started with the limiting reactant! Once you determine the LR, you should only start with it!

Theoretical Yield is the amount of product that would result if all the limiting reagent reacted. Actual Yield is the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction. % Yield = Actual Yield Theoretical Yield x 100 3.10
