Lesson 1: Stoichiometry

Lesson: Stoichiometry in Chemical Reactions

Introduction

Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It is based on the conservation of mass and the principles of the mole.

Key Concepts

Balanced Chemical Equations: A balanced equation reflects the law of conservation of mass. For example, for the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water: $2H_{2} + O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O$

Mole Ratios: The coefficients in a balanced equation give the ratio of moles of each substance involved in the reaction. In the example above, the mole ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.

Calculating Moles: To perform stoichiometric calculations, you often need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass. The formula is: $\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass (g)}}{\text{Molar Mass (g/mol)}}$

Example Problem

Problem Statement

How many grams of water ( $H_{2}O$ ) can be produced from 4 grams of hydrogen ( $H_{2}$ )?

Steps to Solve

Balanced Equation: Start with the balanced equation: $2H_{2} + O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O$
Calculate Moles of $H_{2}$ :
- Molar mass of $H_{2}$ : 2 g/mol
- Moles of $H_{2}$ :
Use Mole Ratio: According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of $H_{2}$ produce 2 moles of $H_{2}O$ . Therefore, 2 moles of $H_{2}$ will produce:
Calculate Grams of $H_{2}O$ :
- Molar mass of $H_{2}O$ : 18 g/mol
- Grams of $H_{2}O$ :

Conclusion

From 4 grams of hydrogen, 36 grams of water can be produced.
