Notice that when we are dealing with a particular isotope of an element, we use the mass of that isotope;
otherwise we use the atomic weight (the average atomic mass) of the element.
The mass in grams of one mole of a substance is called the molar mass.
What is the mass in grams of 1.00 mol of C6H12O6 (a.k.a. glucose)?
Calculate the number of moles of C6H12O6 in 45.0g of glucose (C6H12O6).
Calculate the number of C6H12O6 molecules in the 45.0g sample of glucose (C6H12O6).
.
Interconverting between mass   moles   particles:
Determine the number of
a) moles of glucose (C6H12O6) and
b) oxygen atoms
in 360.0g of glucose.
Determine the number of
a) moles of CO2(g) and
b) grams of carbon dioxide gas
in 1.505 x 1023 molecules of CO2(g).
3.5 Empirical Formulas from Analyses

formula of ascorbic acid?
Mesitylene, a hydrocarbon that occurs in small amounts in crude oil, has an empirical formula of C 3H4. the
experimentally determined molecular weight of this substance is 121 amu. What is the molecular formula
of mesitylene?
Combo problem:
Ethylene glycol, the substance used in automobile antifreeze, is composed of 38.7% C, 9.7% H and
51.6%O by mass. Its molar mass is 62.1 g/mol.
a) What is the empirical formula of ethylene glycol?
b) What is its molecular formula?
Combustion Analysis
Isopropyl alcohol, a substance sold as rubbing alcohol, is composed of C, H and O. combustion of 0.255g
of isopropyl alcohol produces 0.561g of CO2 and 0.306g of H2O. Determine the empirical formula of
isopropyl alcohol.
Another combustion analysis problem:
Caproic acid, which is responsible for the foul odor of dirty socks, is composed of C, H and O atoms.

b) Caproic acid has a molar mass of 116g/mol. What is its molecular formula?
3.6 Quantitative Information from Balanced Equations
3H2 + N2  2NH3
Coefficients in a chemical equation represent the relative numbers of molecules (and therefore moles)
involved in a reaction….which can be converted to mass.
How many grams of water are produced in the oxidation of 80.0g of glucose (C6H12O6)? The balanced
chemical equation is below.
C6H12O6 +
6O2  6CO2
+

Solid lithium hydroxide is used in space vehicles to remove exhaled carbon dioxide. The lithium hydroxide
reacts with gaseous carbon dioxide to form solid lithium carbonate and liquid water. How many grams of
carbon dioxide can be absorbed by 1.00g of lithium hydroxide?
3.7 Limiting Reactants
Manufacture of cars….
The limiting reactant or limiting reagent:
How many moles of NH3 can be formed from 3.0mol N2 and 6.0mol of H2? (note, example of using an
“i.c.e.” table).
The balanced chemical equation:
3H2 + N2  2NH3
Consider the reaction:
2Al + 3Cl2  2AlCl3
A mixture of 54.0g of Al and 142.0g of Cl2 are allowed to react in an enclosed vessel.
a) which is the limiting reactant?
b) how many moles of AlCl3 are formed?
c) how many moles of excess reactant remain at the end of the reaction?
A second limiter example:
A 55.8g sample of pure iron is submerged in a solution containing 338.0g of silver nitrate. Fe(NO 3)3 and
solid silver are the products.
a) write the balanced chemical reaction.
b) determine the limiting reactant
c) determine the moles of each product produced
d) determine the mass of excess reactant remaining.
Theoretical Yields
The quantity of product that is calculated to form when all of the limiting reactant reacts is called the
theoretical yield. The amount of product actually obtained in a reaction is called the actual yield.
Percent yield =

a) calculate the mass of silver that would theoretically be produced.

actually produced?
Here is the list of "for sure" do problems:

formula mass and % comp:
22(only some),24 (usually takes longer to do),
mole (I like some of the ones that make them find the moles of
particular elements in a molecule: e.g., 38d), but many of these
problems have several parts...so they take awhile:
28,30,34,36,38,40,

Here is a list of quiz problems (partner, in-class, take-home or just
"put them on the ch3 quiz" problems):
87,93 (if need more stoich),99 (if need more limiter), 107 (I usually
give this one as a partner quiz...death by cyanide problem (kids like
the name, but then they find it hard), but good review of dim analysis
with stoich and some percentage stuff)
