Stoichiometry
- Quantitative study of
substances and their
relationship to each
other in chemical
reactions.
Amedeo Avogadro
(1776 – 1856)
Note:
the NUMBER of particles is always the same, but
the MASS of each mole will be very different!
This is because atoms have different atomic
masses.
Molar Mass
Molar Mass = Mass of 1 mole of particles
(in grams)
1 mole of CaCl2
1 mole Ca x 40 g/mol
+ 2 moles Cl x 35.5 g/mol = 111 g/mol

A. Molar Mass of K2O = ________
C: 12 g/mol x 17 =
H: 1 g/mol x 18 =
F: 19 g/mol x 3 =
N: 14 g/mol x 1 =
O: 16 g/mol x 1 = Total = g/mol
Calculations with Molar Mass
3.00 moles Al ? g Al
On Ref Tables find molar mass of Al
1 mole Al = 27 g Al
Answer = 81 g Al
Mole/Gram Conversion Practice
# Moles = # particles
6.02 x 1023 particles
A Mole of Particles
Contains 6.02 x 1023 particles
1 mole C = 6.02 x 1023 C atoms
1 mole H2O = 6.02 x 1023 H2O molecules
1 mole NaCl = 6.02 x 1023 NaCl “formula units”
(technically, ionics are compounds not molecules
so they are called formula units)
A Mole of Gas
1 mole = 22.4 Liters of any gas at STP

Empirical Formulas
32 g O x 100 = 72.72 % O
44 g CO2
Learning Check
What is the percent composition of lactic acid,
C3H6O3, a compound that appears in the blood
after vigorous activity?
Solution
STEP 1
3 (12) + 6 (1) + 3 (16) = 90 g/mol
STEP 2
%C = 36 g C x 100= 40% C
90 g
%H = 6 g H x 100 = 6.7% H
90 g
%O = 48 g O x 100 = 53.3% O
90 g
Percent Composition
What is the percent of carbon in C5H8NO4
(the glutamic acid used to make MSG
monosodium glutamate), a compound used
to flavor foods and tenderize meats?
a) 8.22 %C
b) 24.3 %C
c) 41.1 %C
You Try
The chemical isoamyl acetate
C7H14O2 gives the odor of
pears. What is the percent
carbon in isoamyl acetate?
1) 7.102 %C
2) 35.51 %C
3) 64.58 %C
Solution
64.58 %C
Note:
If whole numbers are not obtained* multiply through by the
smallest number that will give all whole numbers
