STOICHIOMETRY

This module discusses how to determine the molecular mass and the mole; how to balance
simple chemical reactions and perform computations based on balanced chemical reactions
OBJECTIVES

1. Be able to compute the molecular weight and the mole of a


substance
2. Predict and balance simple chemical reactions
3. Determine the percent composition of the elements in a
compound
4. Resolve which the limiting is and compute for the percent
yield of a chemical reaction
How to compute the molecular weight of a
compound?
The molecular weight of a compound is the sum of all the elements
comprising a compound.
 
For example, H2O, 2 times the atomic weight of hydrogen + atomic weight of
oxygen
MW of H2O = 2(1.00797 amu) + 15.9994 amu = 18.01534 amu
Exercises

Find the molecular weight of the following compounds


1. NaCl (Na = 22.9898; Cl = 35.453)
2. Mg(NO3)2 (Mg = 24.312; N = 14.0067; O = 15.9994)
3. Ca3(PO4)2 (Ca = 40.08; P = 30.97; O = 15.9994)
4. K2S2O3 (K = 39.102; S = 32.067; O = 15.9994)
5. C12H26 (C = 12.01115; H = 1.00797)
What is a mole?

A mole is basic unit in chemistry. One mole of a


substance is equal to the sum of atomic weights of all
the elements comprising a compound, expressed in
mass unit. For example, one mole of H2O is equal to
18.01534 grams.
Exercises

Calculate the number of moles of the following: (Use the atomic


masses in the previous exercise)
1. 49.0 grams of H2SO4
2. 328.0 grams of Ca(NO3)2
3. 394.3 grams of Mg3(PO4)2
4. 256.7 grams of C12H22O11
5. 140.0 grams of NaOH
Predicting and Balancing Simple Chemical
Reactions
5 types of reactions:
1. Synthesis or Direct Combination
2. Decomposition
3. Substitution
4. Metathesis or Double Displacement
5. Neutralization
Synthesis or Direct Combination

a) Metal + Non-metal  Binary compound


b) Metal Oxide + Water  Metal hydroxide
c) Non-metal oxide + Water  Ternary acid
Metal + Non-metal  Binary compound

In this type of reaction, the valence of the elements is taken into consideration.
For example
Na + Cl2  NaCl Why?
Since Na is in group IA, it has a charge of +1 and Cl is in group VIIA, it has a charge
of -1. The sum of the charge in a compound is always zero. In other words, the
charge of the elements is just being interchanged

Note: Chlorine is one of the elements that occur in diatomic form, the others are
hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, bromine and iodine.
Balancing the Equation

To balance, we multiply NaCl by 2 since there are 2 Cl in the reactant.


 
Na + Cl2  2 NaCl
however the equation is still not balanced since there are
2 Na in the product, so we multiply Na in the reactant by 2
 
2 Na + Cl2 2 NaCl
the equation is now balanced
Example 2

Mg + N2  Mg3N2
(because Mg is in group IIA, it has charge of +2, while N is
-3 in binary compounds). We multiply Mg by 3.

Mg + N2  Mg3N2
the equation is now balanced
Metal Oxide + Water  Metal hydroxide

Na2O + H2O  NaOH, why?


Na is +1 and OH is -1. Then we multiply NaOH by 2 since there are 2 Na, 2 H
and 2 O in the reactant
 
Na2O + H2O  2 NaOH
 
MgO + H2O  Mg(OH)2
because Mg is +1 and OH is -1. The equation is already balanced
Non-metal oxide + Water  Ternary acid

SO3 + H2O  H2SO4


 
In reaction 1c, the oxidation number of the non-metal in the reactant should have the
same oxidation number in the product.
Reactant Product
S + 3(-2) = 0 2(1) + S + 4(-2) = 0
S=6 2+S–8=0
S=6
We have the right product.
DECOMPOSITION

1. Metal Carbonates + heat  metal oxide + carbon dioxide


Except IA which do not decompose readily
IA carbonate + heat  IA carbonate
MgCO3 + heat  MgO + CO2 (the equation is already balanced)
 
Al3(CO3)3  Al2O3 + CO2, we multiply the reactant by 2, Al 2O3 by 3 and CO2 by 3
2 Al3(CO3)3  3 Al2O3 + 3 CO2

Metal carbonate  No reaction


Na2CO3 + heat  Na2CO3
Decomposition

2. Metal bicarbonates  metal oxide + carbon dioxide + water

Except IA bicarbonates
 IA bicarbonates  IA carbonate + carbon dioxide + water
 
Ca(HCO3)2 + heat  CaO + CO2 + H2O, we multiply CO2 by 2 since there are 2 C in the reactant
 
Ca(HCO3)2 + heat  CaO + 2 CO2 + H2O
 
NaHCO3  Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O, we multiply the reactant by 2
 
2 NaHCO3  Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O, the equation is now balanced
Decomposition

3. Metal chlorates + heat  metal chloride + oxygen gas

KClO3 + heat  KCl + O2


we multiply the reactant by 2, KCl by 2 and O2 by 3
 
2 KClO3 + heat  2 KCl + 3 O2
Displacement
In the displacement reaction, we consider the Activity Series. Only the
more reactive element can replace another element.

AB + C  CB + A
Activity Series
Li, K, B, Ca, Na, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Cd, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Hg, Ag, Au.
Example

HCl + Zn  ZnCl2 + H2
Because Zn is more reactive than H.
We multiply HCl by 2 to balance the reaction
 
2 HCl + Zn  ZnCl2
the reaction is now balanced
 
HCl + Au  no reaction
Because Au is less reactive than H
Metathesis

Under Metathesis, the solubility rules are applied. If the


substance is not soluble, it will not come in contact with the
other substance, so there will be no reaction.
Solubility Rules

1) Salts of NH4+ and Group IA are soluble


2) Chlorates, nitrates and acetates are soluble
3) Chlorides are soluble except AgCl, HgCl and PbCl2
4) Sulfates are soluble except CaSO4, SrSO4, BaSO4 and Ag2SO4
5) Phosphates, carbonates and metallic oxides are insoluble except NH4+ and Group
IA
6) All metallic hydroxides are insoluble except NH4+ and Group IA and Group IIA
from calcium down
7) Sulfides are insoluble except NH4+ and Groups IA and IIA
Example

Na2SO4 + Pb(NO3)2  PbSO4 + NaNO3.


Since there are 2 Na and 2 NO3 in the reactant, we multiply NaNO3 by 2.

Na2SO4 + Pb(NO3)2  PbSO4 +2 NaNO3

Ba(NO3)2 + AlCl3  BaCl2 + Al(NO3)3.


There are 3 Cl in the reactant and 2 Cl in the product, so we multiply AlCl 3 by 2 and BaCl2 by 3

Ba(NO3)2 + 2 AlCl3  3 BaCl2 + Al(NO3)3.


There are 3 Ba in the product so we multiply Ba(NO3)2 by 3, and there are 2 Al in the reactant, so we multiply Al(NO 3)3 by 2.

3 Ba(NO3)2 + 2 AlCl3  3 BaCl2 + 2 Al(NO3)3. The reaction is now balanced.


Neutralization Reactions

1) Acid + base  Salt + water


2) Metal oxide + acid  salt + water
3) Non-metal oxide + base  salt + water
4) Metal oxide + non-metal oxide  salt
Acid + base  Salt + water

H2SO4 + NaOH  Na2SO4 + H2O.


There are 2 Na in the product, we multiply NaOH by 2
 
H2SO4 + 2 NaOH  Na2SO4 + H2O.
There are now 4 H in the left side and only 2 H in the right side, so we multiply H 2O by
2.
 
H2SO4 + NaOH  Na2SO4 +2 H2O.
The equation is now balanced
 
Metal oxide + acid  salt + water

K2O + HNO3  KNO3 + H2O.


There are 2 K in the left side, so we multiply KNO3 by 2 and
there are 2 H in the right side so we multiply HNO3 by 2.
 
K2O + 2 HNO3  2 KNO3 + H2O.
The equation is now balanced
Non-metal oxide + base  salt + water

P2O5 + NaOH  Na3PO4 + H2O.


There are 2 P in the left side, so we multiply Na 3PO4 by 2.
 
P2O5 + NaOH  2 Na3PO4 + H2O.
there are now 6 Na in the right side, so we multiply NaOH by 6
 
P2O5 + 6 NaOH  2 Na3PO4 + H2O.
There are now 6 H in the left side so we multiply H 2O by 3.
 
P2O5 + 6 NaOH  2 Na3PO4 + 3 H2O. The equation is now balanced.
Metal oxide + non-metal oxide  salt

Na2O + N2O5  NaNO3.


There are 2 Na and 2 N in the left side, so we multiply NaNO3 by 2.
 
Na2O + N2O5  2 NaNO3. The reaction is now balanced.

PERCENT COMPOSITION OF

The  first
 step is to compute the molecular weight of the substance. For example,
Na2SO4
MW = 142.0412 amu. (Na = 22.9898; S = 32.064; O = 15.9994)
How To Determine Molecular Formula Of The
Compound Given The Percent Composition

Step 1. Assume 100 g sample


Step 2. Determine number of moles of each element
Step 3. Divide step 2 by the lowest number of moles.
Example

Determine the molecular formula of a compound with the following percent


composition: Na = 32.37%; S = 22.57%; and O = 45.06%

STEP 1: Assume 100 g sample


Mass Na = 32.37 g
Mass S = 22.57 g
Mass O = 45.06 g
Step 2

Therefore, the molecular formula is Na2SO4.


Empirical Formula & Molecular Formula

Empirical Formula is defined as the simplest formula, while


the molecular formula is the true formula of the substance. In
most inorganic compounds, the empirical formula is also the
molecular formula. However, most organic compounds have
different empirical and molecular formula.
An organic compound has 40.0% C, 6.71% H and 53.28% O.
The molecular weight of the compound was found to be
180.15894 g/mole.
Follow
   the first 3 steps, then the 4th step is dividing the molecular weight by the empirical weight.
C=
H=
O=
 Dividing C, H and O by 3.3301 yielding C = 1, H = 2 and O = 1. The empirical weight is 30.02649
g/mole.
n=
 Therefore, the multiplier is 6, the molecular formula is C6H12O6.
STOICHIOMETRY

STOICHIOMETRY is defined as calculations based


on balanced chemical reactions
Sample Problem

Step 1 is to establish and balance the equation

CaCO3 + H3PO4  Ca3(PO4)2 + H2CO3.


Multiply CaCO3 by 3 since there are 3 Ca and multiply H3PO4 by 2 since
there are 2 P in the right side of the reaction.
 
3 CaCO3 + 2 H3PO4  Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2CO3
Step 2

  
Determine the limiting reagent by dividing the number of moles of the
reactants.
 
Mole CaCO3 =
Mole H3PO4 =
Since CaCO3 has the lower number of moles, it is the limiting reagent
Step 3

  
Determine the product of the reaction using the limiting reagent
