Stoichiometry: The math relationships between substances involved in chemical reactions. Stoichiometry allows us to make predictions How much of A do we need to make B How much B can we produce if we start from B If we have 40% yield, how much A must we use in order to get 100 g B. If we have 20 grams of reactant A and 20 g of reactant B, how much product will we make? All stoichiometry problems are solved in a similar manner once you learn the procedure, these problems will seem easy….. So…… Here we go!
1. How many grams of NaAlO 2 can be obtained from 4.46 g of aluminum chloride according to the following reaction? AlCl NaOH NaAlO NaCl + 2 H 2 O ? g 4.46 g gfw AlCl 3 mole AlCl 3 mole ratio mole NaAlO 2 gfw NaAlO g AlCl 3 Al = Cl = 3(35.4) g/mole Mole AlCl g AlCl 3 1mole NaAlO 2 1 mole AlCl g NaAlO 2 Mole NaAlO 2 Na = 23.0 Al = O = g/mole NaAlO 2 = 2.74 g NaAlO 2
2. How many grams of hydrochloric acid are required to react completely with 61.8 g of calcium hydroxide? 2 HCl + Ca(OH) 2 2 H 2 O + CaCl 2 ? g61.8 g gfw Ca(OH) 2 mole Ca(OH) 2 mole ratio mole HCl gfw HCl 61.8 g Ca(OH) 2 H = 1.0 Cl = g/mole HCl Mole Ca(OH) g Ca(OH) 2 2mole HCl 1 mole Ca(OH) g HCl mole HCl Ca = O = H = g/mole Ca(OH) 2 = 60.8 g HCl
