Period:
Date/ Lesson #:
NC Essential Standard (ES):
Chm.2.2 Analyze chemical reactions in terms of quantities, product formation, and
energy.
NC Clarifying Objecties (CO):
Chm.2.2.4 Analyze the stoichiometric relationships inherent in a chemical reaction.
Vertical Alignment (VA):
Chem 2.2.3 Analyze the Law of Conservation of Matter and how it applies to various
types of chemical equations (synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double
replacement, and combustion).
Knowledge Skills (KS):
 Interpret coefficients of a balanced equation as mole ratios.
 Use mole ratios from the balanced equation to calculate the quantity of one
substance in a reaction given the quantity of another substance in the reaction.
(given moles, particles, mass, or volume and ending with moles, particles, mass,
or volume of the desired substance)
1. Identify the given and unknown in a stoichiometry word problem.
2. Correctly label a balanced chemical equation with the given and unknown
information.
3. Solve a variety of stoichiometry problems (ex. mass-mass, mol-mol, mass-mol, etc.)

Stoichiometry Lab: Synthesis of Magnesium Oxide
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when
carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks; analyze
the specific results based on explanations in the text.
Key Vocabulary: actual yield, excess reagent, limiting reagent, mole ratio, percent
yield, stoichiometry, theoretical yield, given, unknown, unit, quantity
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Effectively analyze and evaluate evidence, arguments, claims and beliefs
Analyze and evaluate major alternative points of view
Synthesize and make connections between information and arguments
Interpret information and draw conclusions based on the best analysis
Reflect critically on learning experiences and processes
Level 1 (Recall): Define, list
Level 2(Skill/Concept): Categorize, graph, distinguish, make observations
Level 3 (Strategic Thinking): Develop a logical argument, Draw conclusion,
Compare
Level4 (Extended Thinking): Apply Concepts, Analyze
Define: What does stoichiometry mean?
List: What are the steps to follow when solving a stoichiometry problem?
Distinguish: Into which category can each stoichiometry problem you solve be
classified?
Draw conclusion: Why is the mol-mol ratio the only step that is in common to every
stoichiometry problem?

Warm-Up:
Use a few examples from the list below to review mole concept conversions and
appropriate conversion factors to use (molar mass, molar volume, Avogadro’s
Number)
1) How many moles are in 25.0 grams of water (H2O)?
2) How many grams are in 4.50 moles of lithium oxide (Li2O)?
3) How many molecules are in 23.0 moles of oxygen (O2)?
4) How many moles are in 3.4 x 1023 molecules of sulfuric acid (H2SO4)?
5) How many formula units are in 35.0 grams of nickel (IV) hydride (NiH4)?
6) How much mass is in 8.2 x 1022 molecules of N2I6?
7) How much mass is in 455L of sulfur trioxide gas (SO3)?
8) How much volume will 4.87x1020molecules of ammonia (NH3) occupy?
9) What is the mass of 88.3L of carbon dioxide (CO2)?
10) How many gallium (III) ions (Ga3+) will be found in 3.55g?
1. Direct
Instruction:
Demo: Making Smores (Discuss standard recipe and what controls the number of
Smores you can make)
2. Guided
Practice:
First explain the solving process using Stoichiometry PowerPoint examples alone, then
use Alice to help guide students through the “Now You Try” problems.

Alice will provide structured guidance to help students learn the solving process at their
own pace along with having a copy of teacher notes provided.
