BIG Idea
Reactive Substances To intro-
duce this chapters Big Idea, ask four

students to each add 5.0 mL of water
to an empty film canister. Tell them
to divide a sodium bicarbonate tablet
into four unequal piecessmall,
medium, medium-large, and large.
Have them place each piece of the
tablet on the lid of a film canister.
When you say so, students should
snap the lid onto the canister, invert
the canister on the table, and back
away from the table. Film canisters
will pop and be launched into the air.
Ask students which canister had the
biggest pop. The canister with the largest
piece of the tablet will likely have the biggest
pop. Ask students if the size of the
sodium bicarbonate in the canister
determined how high the canister
traveled. Results will likely correlate to the
size of the tablet.

Steps in Stoichiometric
Calculations Make the following
Foldable to help you summarize the
steps in solving a stoichiometric
problem.
What evidence can you observe

that a reaction is taking place?
During a chemical reaction, reactants are consumed as
new products are formed. Often, there are several telltale
signs that a chemical reaction is taking place.
Procedure
1. Read and complete the lab safety form.
2. Use a 10-mL graduated cylinder to measure
out 5.0 mL 0.01M potassium permanganate
(KMnO 4). Add the solution to a 100-mL beaker.
3. Clean and dry the graduated cylinder, and then use
it to measure 5.0 mL 0.01M sodium hydrogen
sulfite solution (NaHSO 3). Slowly add this solution
to the beaker while stirring with a stirring rod.
Record your observations.
4. Repeat Step 3 until the KMnO 4 solution in the beaker
turns colorless. Stop adding the NaHSO 3 solution as
soon as you obtain a colorless solution. Record your
observations.
Analysis
1. Identify the evidence you observed that a chemical
reaction was occurring.
2. Explain why slowly adding the NaHSO 3 solution while
stirring is a better experimental technique than adding
5.0 mL of the solution all at once.
Inquiry Would anything more have happened if you
continued to add NaHSO 3 solution to the beaker? Explain.

goggles.
Disposal The KMnO 4 solution
must be processed or saved as chemical wastedo not pour the solution
down the drain.
Teaching Strategies
Place five test tubes and ten rubber

stoppers on the desk. Place one
stopper into each test tube, and ask
students which item is in excess.
See page 48T for preparation of all
solutions.
Expected Results Initially, the
KMnO 4 solution is dark purple. The
solution gradually becomes colorless
as the NaHSO 3 solution is added.
Expect that 5 mL KMnO 4 solution
will require 27 mL NaHSO 3 solution
to change it to a clear, colorless
solution.

candle on a glass plate and place the

plate into a bowl of water. Light the
candle, and ask students what will
happen if you place a beaker over the
candle. The candle will go out when it uses
up the oxygen in the beaker. Place the
beaker over the candle and have students watch the water level rise in
the beaker. Ask students why the
water level increased. In the balanced
equation, moles of gaseous reactants are
greater than moles of gaseous products,
resulting in lower pressure inside the beaker
after the candle burns out and cools. Tell
students that this chapter (Stoichiometry) involves amounts of reactants and products. OL
MAIN Idea The amount of each reactant present at the start of a

chemical reaction determines how much product can form.
Real-World Reading Link Have you ever watched a candle burning? You
might have watched the candle burn out as the last of the wax was used up.
Or, maybe you used a candle snuffer to put out the flame. Either way, when the
candle stopped burning, the combustion reaction ended.
Particle and Mole Relationships

In doing the Launch Lab, were you surprised when the purple color of
potassium permanganate disappeared as you added sodium hydrogen
sulfite? If you concluded that the potassium permanganate had been
used up and the reaction had stopped, you are right. Chemical reactions
stop when one of the reactants is used up. When planning the reaction
of potassium permanganate and sodium hydrogen sulfite, a chemist
might ask, How many grams of potassium permanganate are needed to
react completely with a known mass of sodium hydrogen sulfite? Or,
when analyzing a photosynthesis reaction, you might ask, How much
oxygen and carbon dioxide are needed to form a known mass of sugar.
Stoichiometry is the tool for answering these questions.
Stoichiometry The study of quantitative relationships between the
amounts of reactants used and amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction is called stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is based on the law
of conservation of mass. Recall from Chapter 3 that the law states that
matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In any
chemical reaction, the amount of matter present at the end of the reaction is the same as the amount of matter present at the beginning.
Therefore, the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
Note the reaction of powdered iron (Fe) with oxygen (O 2) shown in
Figure 11.1. Although iron reacts with oxygen to form a new compound, iron(III) oxide (Fe 2O 3), the total mass is unchanged.
Figure 11.1 The balanced chemical equation for this reaction between
iron and oxygen provides the relationships between amounts of reactants
and products.

The balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction shown in
Reading Check The coefficients in

a balanced chemical equation represent
the number of representative particles
as well as the numbers of moles of
particles. Though they do not directly
indicate anything about the masses of
the reactants or particles, these masses
can be derived from the coefficients by
converting the known mole quantities
to mass.
Figure 11.1 is as follows.
4Fe(s) + 3O 2(g) 2Fe 2O 3(s)

You can interpret this equation in terms of representative particles by
saying that four atoms of iron react with three molecules of oxygen to
produce two formula units of iron(III) oxide. Remember that coefficients in an equation represent not only numbers of individual particles
but also numbers of moles of particles. Therefore, you can also say that
four moles of iron react with three moles of oxygen to produce two
moles of iron(III) oxide.
The chemical equation does not directly tell you anything about the
masses of the reactants and products. However, by converting the
known mole quantities to mass, the mass relationships become obvious.
Recall that moles are converted to mass by multiplying by the molar
mass. The masses of the reactants are as follows.

Mole ratios You have read that the coefficients in a chemical equation indicate the relationships between moles of reactants and products.
You can use the relationships between coefficients to derive conversion
factors called mole ratios. A mole ratio is a ratio between the numbers
of moles of any two of the substances in a balanced chemical equation.
For example, consider the reaction shown in Figure 11.2. In this
reaction, potassium (K) reacts with bromine (Br 2) to form potassium
bromide (KBr). The product of the reaction, the ionic salt potassium
bromide, is prescribed by veterinarians as an antiepileptic medication
for dogs and cats.
Personal Tutor For an online tutorial

on ratios, visit glencoe.com.
What mole ratios can be written for this reaction? Starting with the
reactant potassium, you can write a mole ratio that relates the moles of
potassium to each of the other two substances in the equation. Thus,
one mole ratio relates the moles of potassium used to the moles of bromine used. The other mole ratio relates the moles of potassium used to
the moles of potassium bromide formed.

Incorporate information
from this section into

From the balanced equation, you know that two moles of potassium
yields one mole of hydrogen. But how much hydrogen is produced if
only 0.0400 mol of potassium is used? To answer this question, identify
the given, or known, substance and the substance that you need to
determine. The given substance is 0.0400 mol of potassium. The
unknown is the number of moles of hydrogen. Because the given substance is in moles and the unknown substance to be determined is also
in moles, this problem involves a mole-to-mole conversion.
To solve the problem, you need to know how the unknown moles of
hydrogen are related to the known moles of potassium. In Section 11.1,
you learned to derive mole ratios from the balanced chemical equation.
Mole ratios are used as conversion factors to convert the known number
of moles of one substance to the unknown number of moles of another
substance in the same reaction. Several mole ratios can be written from
the equation, but how do you choose the correct one?

making dates to 2800 b.c. in Babylonia.
During the 17th century, soap was a luxury
item for the wealthy. However, as materials
became more readily available, soap was
made in almost every household. Crude stoichiometric techniques were used by all early
soap-making cultures. Soap making requires
three steps, making lye, rendering (or cleaning) fat, and then heating the lye-fat mixture.
Sodium chloride was added to make the soap

hard. Scents were also added, and the soap

was rolled into balls or cut into bars to be
stored. Deer fat, whale blubber, tallow, and
olive oil have been used as sources of fat in
soap depending upon which was available
in the area. Countries bordering the
Mediterranean Sea used the ashes of local
shrubs instead of potash (K 2CO 3). Ashes
from these plants are rich in sodium carbonate, and were a valuable trade item called

Why do reactions stop?

Rarely in nature are the reactants present in the exact ratios specified by
the balanced chemical equation. Generally, one or more reactants are in
excess and the reaction proceeds until all of one reactant is used up.
When a reaction is carried out in the laboratory, the same principle
applies. Usually, one or more of the reactants are in excess, while one is
limited. The amount of product depends on the reactant that is limited.
Limiting and excess reactants Recall the reaction from the
Launch Lab. After the colorless solution formed, adding more sodium
hydrogen sulfite had no effect because there was no more potassium
permanganate available to react with it. Potassium permanganate was a
limiting reactant. As the name implies, the limiting reactant limits the
extent of the reaction and, thereby, determines the amount of product
formed. A portion of all the other reactants remains after the reaction
stops. Reactants leftover when a reaction stops are excess reactants.
To help you understand limiting and excess reactants, consider the
analogy in Figure 11.4. From the available tools, four complete sets
consisting of a pair of pliers, a hammer, and two screwdrivers can be
assembled. The number of sets is limited by the number of available
hammers. Pliers and screwdrivers remain in excess.
MAIN Idea
Limited Reactants Refer students
to the Launch Lab and ask what happened to the potassium permanganate. The solution turned from purple to
colorless. How much sodium hydrogen
sulfite was added before the color
change occurred? Answers will vary. It
should be around 8 mL of NaHSO 3 added to
change the color. Ask students what
happened if they added another drop
of sodium hydrogen sulfite. Nothing,
the solution remained colorless. Ask if they
can explain why that was the case.
All the potassium permanganate had reacted,
and there was no more to react with the additional drop. OL

a chemical process called vulcanization.
During vulcanization, molecules become
linked together, forming a durable material
that is harder, smoother, and less sticky.
These properties make vulcanized rubber
ideal for many products, such as this caster.
Determining the limiting reactant The calculations you did in

the previous section were based on having the reactants present in the
ratio described by the balanced chemical equation. When this is not the
case, the first thing you must do is determine which reactant is limiting.
Consider the reaction shown in Figure 11.5, in which three molecules of nitrogen (N 2) and three molecules of hydrogen (H 2) react to
form ammonia (NH 3). In the first step of the reaction, all the nitrogen
molecules and hydrogen molecules are separated into individual atoms.
These atoms are available for reassembling into ammonia molecules,
just as the tools in Figure 11.4 are available to be assembled into tool
kits. How many molecules of ammonia can be produced from the available atoms? Two ammonia molecules can be assembled from the hydrogen atoms and nitrogen atoms because only six hydrogen atoms are
availablethree for each ammonia molecule. When the hydrogen is
gone, two unreacted molecules of nitrogen remain. Thus, hydrogen is
the limiting reactant and nitrogen is the excess reactant. It is important
to know which reactant is the limiting reactant because, as you have just
read, the amount of product formed depends on this reactant.
Reading Check Extend How many more hydrogen molecules would
be needed to completely react with the excess nitrogen molecules

shown in Figure 11.5?
Calculating the Product

when a Reactant Is Limiting
How can you calculate the amount of product formed when one of the
reactants is limiting? Consider the formation of disulfur dichloride
(S 2Cl 2), which is used to vulcanize rubber. As shown in Figure 11.6, the
properties of vulcanized rubber make it useful for many products. In
the production of disulfur dichloride, molten sulfur reacts with chlorine
gas according to the following equation.
S 8(l) + 4Cl 2(g) 4S 2Cl 2(l)
If 200.0 g of sulfur reacts with 100.0 g of chlorine, what mass of disulfur
dichloride is produced?
Calculating the limiting reactant The masses of both reactants
are given. First, determine which one is the limiting reactant, because the
reaction stops producing product when the limiting reactant is used up.

Using mole ratios The next step involves determining whether the
two reactants are in the correct mole ratio, as given in the balanced
chemical equation. The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation
indicate that 4 mol of chlorine is needed to react with 1 mol of sulfur.
This 4:1 ratio from the equation must be compared with the actual ratio
of the moles of available reactants just calculated above. To determine
the actual ratio of moles, divide the number of available moles of chlorine by the number of available moles of sulfur.

1 mol S 8 available
Only 1.808 mol of chlorine is available for every 1 mol of sulfur, instead
of the 4 mol of chlorine required by the balanced chemical equation.
Therefore, chlorine is the limiting reactant.
Calculating the amount of product formed After determining the limiting reactant, the amount of product in moles can be calculated by multiplying the given number of moles of the limiting reactant
(1.410 mol Cl 2) by the mole ratio relating disulfur dichloride and chlorine. Then, moles of S 2Cl 2 is converted to grams of S 2Cl 2 by multiplying
by the molar mass. These calculations can be combined as shown.

Thus, 190.4 g S 2Cl 2 forms when 1.410 mol Cl 2 reacts with excess S 8.
Analyzing the excess reactant Now that you have determined
the limiting reactant and the amount of product formed, what about the
excess reactant, sulfur? How much of it reacted?
Moles reacted You need to make a mole-to-mass calculation to
determine the mass of sulfur needed to react completely with 1.410 mol

of lithium and 25.0 g of bromine are
present at the beginning of the reaction: the limiting reactant, the mass
of lithium bromide produced, the
excess reactant, the mass of the
excess reactant. Bromine is the limiting
reactant; 27.1 g LiBr; lithium is the excess

Multiply the moles of O 2 by the molar mass.
Calculate the amount of excess O 2.

50.0 g O 2 available - 32.3 g O 2 consumed = 17.7 g O 2 in excess
3
Subtract the mass of O 2 used

from the mass available.
Evaluate the Answer

All values have a minimum of three significant figures, so the mass of P 4O 10 is correctly
stated with three digits. The mass of excess O 2 (17.7 g) is found by subtracting two
numbers that are accurate to the first decimal place. Therefore, the mass of excess O 2
correctly shows one decimal place. The sum of the O 2 that was consumed (32.3 g) and
the given mass of P 4 (25.0 g) is 57.3 g, the calculated mass of the product P 4O 10.

Figure 11.7 With insufficient

oxygen, the burner on the left burns
with a yellow, sooty flame. The burner
on the right burns hot and clean
because an excess of oxygen is
available to react completely with
the methane gas.
Why use an excess of a reactant? Many reactions stop while

portions of the reactants are still present in the reaction mixture.
Because this is inefficient and wasteful, chemists have found that by
using an excess of one reactantoften the least expensive onereactions can be driven to continue until all of the limiting reactant is used
up. Using an excess of one reactant can also speed up a reaction.
Figure 11.7 shows an example of how controlling the amount of a
reactant can increase efficiency. Your lab likely uses the type of Bunsen
burner shown in the figure. If so, you know that this type of burner has
a control that lets you adjust the amount of air that mixes with the
methane gas. How efficiently the burner operates depends on the ratio
of oxygen to methane gas in the fuel mixture. When the air is limited,
the resulting flame is yellow because of glowing bits of unburned fuel.
This unburned fuel leaves soot (carbon) deposits on glassware. Fuel is
wasted because the amount of energy released is less than the amount
that could have been produced if enough oxygen were available. When
sufficient oxygen is present in the combustion mixture, the burner produces a hot, intense blue flame. No soot is deposited because the fuel is
completely converted to carbon dioxide and water vapor.

While solving stoichiometric problems in this chapter, you might have

concluded that chemical reactions always proceed in the laboratory
according to the balanced equation and produce the calculated amount
of product. This, however, is not the case. Just as you are unlikely to
make 100 out of 100 free throws during basketball practice, most reactions never succeed in producing the predicted amount of product.
Reactions do not go to completion or yield as expected for a variety of
reasons. Liquid reactants and products might adhere to the surfaces of
their containers or evaporate. In some instances, products other than
the intended ones might be formed by competing reactions, thus reducing the yield of the desired product. Or, as shown in Figure 11.8, some
amount of any solid product is usually left behind on filter paper or lost
in the purification process. Because of these problems, chemists need to
know how to gauge the yield of a chemical reaction.
Review Vocabulary
Theoretical and Actual Yields In many of the stoichiometric calculations you have performed, you have calculated the amount of product produced from a given amount of reactant. The answer you
obtained is the theoretical yield of the reaction. The theoretical yield is
the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given
amount of reactant.
A chemical reaction rarely produces the theoretical yield of
product. A chemist determines the actual yield of a reaction through
a careful experiment in which the mass of the product is measured.
The actual yield is the amount of product produced when the chemical
reaction is carried out in an experiment.

Evaluate the Answer

The quantity with the fewest significant figures has three, so the percent is correctly stated
with three digits. The molar mass of Ag 2CrO 4 is about twice the molar mass of AgNO 3, and
the ratio of moles of AgNO 3 to moles of Ag 2CrO 4 in the equation is 2:1. Therefore, 0.500 g
of AgNO 3 should produce about the same mass of Ag 2CrO 4. The actual yield of Ag 2CrO 4
is close to 0.500 g, so a percent yield of 93.2% is reasonable.

Percent yield is important in the cost effectiveness of many industrial

The first step, the combustion of sulfur, produces an almost 100% yield.
The second step also produces a high yield if a catalyst is used at the
relatively low temperature of 400C. A catalyst is a substance that speeds
a reaction but does not appear in the chemical equation. Under these
conditions, the reaction is slow. Raising the temperature increases the
reaction rate but decreases the yield.
To maximize yield and minimize time in the second step, engineers
have devised a system in which the reactants, O 2 and SO 2, are passed
over a catalyst at 400C. Because the reaction releases a great deal of
heat, the temperature gradually increases with an accompanying
decrease in yield. Thus, when the temperature reaches approximately
600C, the mixture is cooled and then passed over the catalyst again.
A total of four passes over the catalyst with cooling between passes
results in a yield greater than 98%.

Battling
Resistant Strains
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the
virus that causes AIDS, has proven to be among
the most incurable foes ever faced by modern
medical science. One reason for this is the viruss
remarkable ability to adapt. Resistant strains of
the virus appear quickly, rendering obsolete the
newest and most powerful AIDS drugs. Now
some researchers are using the viruss
adaptability as a way to fight it.
Selecting resistance PA-457 is a promising

new anti-HIV drug synthesized from betulinic
acid, an organic compound derived from some
plants, including the bark of birch trees. To find
out just what PA-457 does to HIV, known as the
drugs mechanism of action, researchers took
what might seem a strange step: they
encouraged samples of HIV to develop
resistance to PA-457.
Researchers subjected HIV samples to small
doses of PA-457. Using a low dose made it more
likely that some of the virus would survive the
treatment and possibly develop resistance.
Those viruses that survived exposure were
collected, and their genetic sequences were
examined. The surviving viruses were found to
have a mutation in the genes that control how
the virus builds a structure called a capsid,
shown in Figure 1.

Figure 2 When treated with PA-457, the HIV capsid becomes

misshapen and collapses, resulting in the death of the virus.
Surprise attack This finding was surprising,

because it showed that, unlike most drugs,
PA-457 attacks the HIV structure, rather than
the enzymes that help HIV reproduce, as
illustrated in Figure 2. This makes PA-457
among the first of a new class of HIV drugs
known as maturation inhibitorsdrugs that can
prevent the virus from maturing during the late
stages in its development.
Slowing evolution The hope is that because
PA-457 and other maturation inhibitors attack
the HIV structure, resistance will be slower to
develop. Even so, maturation inhibitors will
likely be prescribed in combination with other
AIDS drugs that attack HIV at different stages of
its life cycle.
This practice, called multidrug therapy,
makes it harder for HIV to develop resistance
because any surviving virus would need to have
multiple mutationsat least one for each antiHIV drug. These mutations are less likely to
occur at the same time.

ing level for an experimental drug. Discuss how a

drugs effectiveness must be balanced with its
potential toxicity and side effects. For more information on how a therapeutic dose is determined,
visit glencoe.com.
Drug resistance is conferred by

mutations of HIVs genetic sequence.
HIV does not possess DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), but rather stores its
genetic information on a related
molecule called RNA (ribonucleic
acid). Researchers map the RNA
sequence of HIV to discover which
part of the RNA controls each part of
the virus. When mutations are discovered, researchers can go back to
that map to determine which part of
the virus is altered by the mutation.
Teaching Strategies
Discuss examples of mutations that
provide resistance. These might
include pesticide resistance in
insects, herbicide resistance in
weeds, and antibiotic resistance in
disease-causing bacteria.
Researchers encouraged resistance
to PA-457 by administering low
doses of the drug. Why not high
doses? High doses might kill those viruses
with only partial resistance. Compare
this with the need to complete full
courses of antibiotics to prevent
the development of resistant
bacteria.
Note the crucial difference
between viruses and bacteria:
viruses are not affected by antibiotics. Have students find out why.

Resarch Answers will vary. Students should find that
the dose-response relationship for therapeutic drugs varies. Some drugs are very predictable, requiring little monitoring, but others require much closer monitoring. Disease,
the patients age, and drug interactions can all affect the
level of a drug in the patients system. Additionally, some
drugs become toxic even at concentrations close to the
therapeutic dose and need to be monitored very closely.

Key Concepts
The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed during a
chemical reaction. Reactants that remain after the reaction stops are called
excess reactants.
To determine the limiting reactant, the actual mole ratio of the available reactants
must be compared with the ratio of the reactants obtained from the coefficients
in the balanced chemical equation.
Stoichiometric calculations must be based on the limiting reactant.

Key Concepts
The theoretical yield of a chemical reaction is the maximum amount of product
that can be produced from a given amount of reactant. Theoretical yield is
calculated from the balanced chemical equation.
The actual yield is the amount of product produced. Actual yield must be obtained
through experimentation.
Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percent.
High percent yield is important in reducing the cost of every product produced

9. Dimethyl hydrazine (CH 3) 2N 2H 2 ignites on

contact with dinitrogen tetroxide (N 2O 4).
(CH 3) 2N 2H 2(l) + 2N 2O 4(l)
3N 2(g) + 4H 2O(g) + 2CO 2(g)
Because this reaction produces an enormous
amount of energy from a small amount of reactants,
it was used to drive the rockets on the Lunar
Excursion Modules (LEMs) of the Apollo space
program. If 18.0 mol of dinitrogen tetroxide is consumed in this reaction, how many moles of nitrogen
gas will be released?
Extended Response
12. How much cobalt(III) titanate (CO 2TiO 4), in

moles, is in 7.13 g of the compound?
A. 2.39 10 1 mol
B. 3.10 10 -2 mol
C. 3.22 10 1 mol
D. 4.17 10 -2 mol
E. 2.28 10 -2 mol
10. Data should form an approximately linear relationship with a few jagged edges,
similar to Figure 6.16 on page 191. .
11. Ionization generally increases as you
move across a period or row in the periodic table. Elements in the first few families have only 1 or 2 valence electrons,
which are relatively easy to remove
because this will result in a complete
outer shell. Elements on the right side of
the periodic table have very high ionization energies because their outer shells
are nearly filled, therefore making it
more likely for these elements to gain a
few electrons rather than lose many.
