Hypomedia Ashlyn R. Jake H. Jeremy L. What is Stoichiometry? • Stoichiometry is a chemistry equation used to balance or convert two different types of units – Particles – Grams – Moles – Liters How to use it • If 5.50cmol calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with an excess of water, how many moles of acetylene (C2H2) will be produces? CaC2+2H2OCa(OH)2+C2H2 given= 5.50 mol CaC2 given 5.50 mol CaC2 • How many moles of C2H2 produced? 5.50 mol CaC2 1 mol C2H2 1 mol CaC2 And the Answer is? 5.50 mol CaC2 1 mol C2H2 5.50 mol C2H2 1 mol CaC2 1 mol C2H2 7.50 mol C2H2 YAY!!!! The answer is 5.50 mol C2H2!!! Grams to Mole • How many moles of Ga(NO3)3 are produced from 300 grams of silver nitrate (Ag(NO3))? 250.0 g Ga(NO3)3 1 mole Ag(NO3) 255.733 g Ga(NO3)3 • Whats next? Given What we want 250.0 g Ga(NO3)3 X 1 mole Ag(NO3) / 255.733 g Ga(NO3)3 1 mol Ag(NO3) 0.978 mol Ag(NO3) Jim • Next…6.022^23 • Liters= 22.4
