Chapter 11: Stoichiometry
1.) Write out the balanced equation of the problem.
2.) Write out the number, unit, and substance in the top corner of the first bracket.
2ex.)
# Unit A
3.) The unit and substance will be written in the bottom of the next bracket.
3ex.)
# Unit A
Unit A
- If you start with grams, find formula mass of A and put 1 Mol A on top.
1 Mol A
#gA
Unit A
gA
Unit A
- If you start with moles, Mol A goes on the bottom, Mol B on top, then use coefficient(s) for
numbers.
Mol B
(Possible Coefficient #) Mol B
Mol A
4.) If starting with grams, the 3rd bracket Mol B over Mol A
with coefficient(s) as number(s).
5.) If looking for grams (Mass) of B, then formula mass of B
goes over 1 Mol B.
A = What you start with.
B = What you are looking for.
#gA
1 Mol A
Grams to Mole
(If you want Mole to
Gram, both are M-M,
with what you look for
in the top.

Tips on Balancing Equations
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine,
Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodide are
diatomic molecules.
Hydrocarbon reactions with diatomic
molecules result in 2, 7, 6, 4 order.
