Reaction Stoichiometry: Chemical arithmetic. Stoichiometry is the study of

numerical relationships between chemical quantities in a chemical reaction. Using ratios

found in balanced chemical reactions to solve quantitative problems.

Convert to moles, mole to mole ratio, convert to desired result.

Practice:

1. a) Balance the following unbalanced equation:

BaO (s) + HCl (aq) BaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l)

b) There are 2 moles of BaO and 2 moles of HCl, which is the limiting reactant?

2. Balance the equation below and calculate the mass in grams of water vapor

produced when 56.0 g of pure hydrogen gas burns in an unlimited supply of oxygen.

H2 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (g)


3. How many mg of solid iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) result when 15.5 milligrams of

solid iron (Fe) is reacted with an excess of chlorine gas (Cl2). Start by balancing the

equation.

Yields:

Actual or Experimental Yield = that produced in a lab environment.

Theoretical Yield = the highest (maximum) possible yield assuming 100% perfection using up all of the limiting reactant.

Percent Yield = 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑌𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑

𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑌𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑 x 100%

Limiting reactants:

The limiting reactant is completely consumed producing the least amount of product. It runs out first and limits the amount of product. It produces the lowest (maximum) theoretical yield. Limiting reactant problems occur when two values for reactants are given.

Excess reactants:

Excess reactants are not completely consumed in the reaction.

Practice:


Ca (s) + H2O (l) Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g)

b) How many grams of H2O would be required to react with 8.00 g of calcium?

c) Solve for the theoretical mass of hydrogen gas produced.

d) When the reaction described above was carried out in the lab, 0.346 grams of

hydrogen gas was obtained. Calculate the percent yield for this reaction.



P4 (s) + F2 (g) PF5 (g)

b) Calculate the theoretical mass in grams of phosphorus pentafluoride

produced from

12.6 grams F2 and 9.00 g phosphorus.

c) What is the limiting reactant from the reaction above?

d) What is the % yield of the reaction above if 15.8g of PF5 were experimentally

produced in a lab starting with the given amounts above?

Solution Concentrations:

Homogenous mixtures are called solutions. The major component that keeps its

same state is called the solvent. The minor component, the one that may have a

change in state, is the solute.

Dilute solutions have a small amount of solute, concentrated solutions have a large

amount of solute compared to the solvent.

Molarity = (moles of solute)/(liter of solution)

Molarity can be used as a conversion factor to solve for moles in

stoichiometry problems

Solution Dilution: M1V1 = M2V2

When diluting solutions it is best to use a volumetric flask and safest to

start with some solvent, then add the concentrated amount, followed by

more solvent to reach the desired total volume.

Note: Volumes are not always additive: for example 50 ml of water

plus 50 ml of ethanol only produce 95 ml volume total due to some

differences in density and intermolecular attractions

Other concentrations for solutions include: mass percent, volume percent,

mass/volume percent, ppm, ppb, normality, molality, mole fraction.


Practice:

6. Calculate the Molarity of a solution made from 30.0 grams of sucrose (C12H22O11)

added to enough water to make 300 ml total solution.

7. Describe quantitatively and qualitatively how one should safely prepare 600 ml of

1.0 M H2SO4 (aq) solution from 18.0 M H2SO4 stock solution.

8. How many grams of hydrogen gas will be theoretically formed by the reaction of

10.0 ml of 6.00 M HCl with excess zinc?

Zn (s) + HCl (aq) ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) unbalanced


Titrations:

In a titration, a substance in a solution of known concentration is reacted with

another of unknown concentration. A burette is used to add a known volume to a

flask with an indicator that will change (endpoint) when the reactants reach their

stoichiometric ratio (equivalence point).

Practice:

9. Solve for the molarity concentration in a 10.0 ml portion of acetic acid solution

(HC2H3O2) that required 39.6 ml of 0.202 M NaOH solution to reach the

equivalence point in a titration.


Gas Stoichiometry:

Molar volume at STP for any ideal gas is 22.4 L/mol

STP = standard temperature (0°C) and pressure (1 atmosphere)

Practice:

10. Pure iron may be prepared from iron(III) oxide and carbon monoxide:

Fe2O3 (s) + CO (g) Fe (s) + CO2 (g)

a) Balance the unbalanced equation above.

b) Calculate the maximum theoretical mass in grams of Fe produced from 40.0 L

of carbon monoxide at STP from the reaction above.

Dissolving a Solute

When mixing a solute with the solvent, attractions between the like substances must

break while attractions between solute-solvent are formed. If the new solute-solvent

attractions are strong enough, the solute will dissolve.

Water is a polar molecule with

uneven distribution of

electrons: (more on the oxygen

-, less on the hydrogen +)

When ionic compounds

dissolve in water, each ion is

attracted to the polar water and

surrounded by a solvent cage of

water. The result is a solution

with free moving charged

particles that may conduct

electricity.

Materials that dissolve in water to form a solution that will conduct electricity are

called electrolytes.


Electrolytes in Aqueous Solution:

Strong Electrolytes will largely dissociate into its ions in an aqueous solution and

are written as separated ions in the ionic reactions.

Examples: Strong acids, Strong Bases, Soluble salts.

Strong Acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HClO3

Strong Bases: soluble hydroxides from Group 1A (not including H)

and Group 11A, not including the top two) LiOH, NaOH, KOH,

RbOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2

Soluble Salts: Ionic compounds that contain the cations from Group

1A; Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, or ammonium ion, NH4+. A compound is

probably soluble if it has the anion; Cl-1, Br-1, I-1 except with Ag+,

Hg2+2, or Pb+2, and most compounds that include NO3

-1, ClO4-1,

C2H3O2-1, Soluble with most SO4

-2 except Ba+2, Hg2+2, or Pb+2.

Weak Electrolytes will partially dissociate into its ions in an aqueous solution, but

are written as compounds in an ionic equation. Weak electrolytes are the weak

acids and weak bases such as HC2H3O2 or NH3

Nonelectrolytes will stay in their formula in an aqueous solution. Nonelectrolytes

are the insoluble salts, gases, liquids, and other solids.

Writing Molecular, Ionic, and Net ionic equations:

Example: For the double displacement reaction of lead (II) nitrate reacting with aluminum chloride.

Whole equation: Unbalanced

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + AlCl3 (aq) PbCl2 (s) + Al(NO3)3 (aq)

Total ionic equation: Unbalanced

Pb+2(aq) + NO3-1

(aq) + Al+3(aq) + Cl-1

(aq) PbCl2 (s) + Al+3(aq) + NO3

-1(aq)

Identify the spectator ions and leave them out when writing the net ionic eq.

Net ionic equation: Unbalanced

Pb+2 (aq) + Cl-1 (aq) PbCl2 (s)


Chemical Reactions:

Evidence of chemical reactions:

Examples…formation of a solid, or formation of gas, light given off, change in

temperature, etc.

Driving forces of chemical reactions:

1) Transfer of electrons occurs in redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions

2) Formation of solid

3) Formation of gas

4) Formation of water or a weak electrolyte (weak acid or weak base)

5) Other driving forces not listed may occur

Classifying Chemical Reactions:

Types of Chemical Reactions:

(D-D) double displacement: AB + CD AD + CB

(P) precipitation: a solid is formed

(N) neutralization or acid-base: water is formed

(G) gas evolution: gas is formed

(Syn) synthesis or combination: A + B AB

(D) decomposition: AB A + B

(R) redox or oxidation-reduction: electrons are transferred

(C) combustion: add O2 gas, possible products include: CO2, H2O, NO2, SO2.

(SR) single replacement: A + BC AC + B or BA + C

The more active metal will have a partner, less active is alone.

Activity series: Au<Hg<Ag<Cu<H2<Pb<Sn<Ni<Cd<Fe<Cr< Zn<Mn<Al< Mg< Na<Ca< K<Li


Classifying and Predicting Products and Chemical Reactions:

The following examples will help you classify the type of reaction and predict the

expected products. Refer to the solubility rules to determine if solid forms.

(D-D) double displacement: AB + CD AD + CB

A double displacement reaction starts with two ionic compounds in which the ions

exchange to produce new balanced ionic compounds. Always write the cation

before the anion and verify that the net charge of a compound is zero. Ionic

compounds may be acid, base, or salt. Oxidation charges do not alter in double

displacement reactions so this type will never be a redox reaction.

(NR) When all ionic products are strong electrolytes, there is NO REACTION.

FeBr3 (aq) + 3 LiNO3 (aq) 3LiBr (aq) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq) NR

Driving forces for double displacement reactions include…

(P) Precipitation, formation of solid

(N) Neutralization or Acid-Base Reaction, formation of water

(G) gas evolution, formation of a gas

(WE) formation of a weak electrolyte, a soluble weak acid or weak base

(P) Formation of a new solid in a double displacement reaction when there is

no solid on the reactant side is called PRECIPITATION.

Ni(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2S (aq) NiS (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq) DD,P

(N) Formation of water in a double displacement reaction is called

NEUTRALIZATION (also known as Acid-Base reaction)

3 KOH (aq) + H3PO4(aq) K3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) DD,N

(WE) Formation of a WEAK ELECTROLYTE, generally a weak acid, produced

from a double displacement reaction

Al(C2H3O2)3 (aq) + 3 HCl (aq) AlCl3 (aq) + 3 HC2H3O2 (aq) DD,WE

(G) Gas Evolution:

Several common products are in the gas phase. You should recognize the following

as gas products.

CO2, SO2, NH3, H2S, H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, NO2


Special cases of (G) Gas Evolution in (DD) Double Displacement:

There are three common products that further decompose leading to three products

in place of just the two products in a double displacement reaction. They are as

follows.

NH4OH (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

H2SO3 (aq) SO2 (g) + H2O (l)

H2CO3 (aq) CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

The double displacement reactions below show examples of the decomposition of

one of the ionic products. The driving forces include both formation of water and a

gas, because water is formed these can be labeled DD, N, G reactions. The last one

is DD, N, G and P.

K2CO3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) H2CO3 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)

K2CO3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) CO2 (g) + H2O (l) + 2 KCl (aq)

Na2SO3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) H2SO3 (aq) + 2 NaCl (aq)

Na2SO3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) SO2 (g) + H2O (l) + 2 NaCl (aq)

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) 2 NH4OH (aq) + BaSO4 (s)

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) 2 NH3 (g) + 2 H2O (l) + BaSO4 (s)

(Syn) Synthesis or combination: A + B AB

A synthesis reaction starts with two or more substances and creates a single

compound product. The reverse of a synthesis reaction is Decomposition.

Remember which elements are diatomic elements: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2. Know

the elements in their pure form: gas, solid, and liquid.

a) two elements (metal plus nonmetal) ionic compound.

K (s) + Cl2 (g) KCl (s)

b) metal oxide and water base (metal hydroxide)

BaO (g) + H2O (l) Ba(OH)2 (aq)

c) nonmetal oxide and water acid

CO2 (g) + H2O (l) H2CO3 (aq)


(D) Decomposition: AB A + B

A decomposition reaction starts with one reactant and breaks up into two or more

substances. The reverse of a decomposition reaction is synthesis. Remember the

diatomic elements: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2.

a) ionic compound two elements (metal plus nonmetal)

2 Fe2O3 (s) 4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g)

b) metal carbonate metal oxide and carbon dioxide

Ca(BrO3)2 (s) CaBr2 (s) + 3 O2 (g)

e) hydrated salt anhydrous salt plus water

CuSO4.5H2O (s) CuSO4 (s) + 5 H2O (l)

(R) Redox or oxidation-reduction:

Redox reactions have a transfer of electrons. An easy what to tell that a redox

reaction takes place is to check for element charges and see if they change from

reactant to product. Some synthesis and decomposition reactions are redox such as

the synthesis (a), and decomposition (a), (d) reactions. All single replacement and

combustion reactions are redox reactions.

(C) Combustion: elements burn with O2 gas to produce oxides,

Common products include: CO2, H2O, NO2, SO2.

NH3 (g) + O2 (g)

C4H10 (s) + O2 (g)

C17H24S (s) + O2 (g)

C12H22O11 (s) + O2 (g)

(SR) Single Replacement: A + BC AC + B or BA + C

The more active metal will have a partner, less active is alone.

Activity series: Au<Hg<Ag<Cu<H2<Pb<Sn<Ni<Cd<Fe<Cr< Zn<Mn<Al< Mg< Na<Ca< K<Li

Do NOT memorize the activity series. The necessary information will be

given to you as needed. Most of the transition metals commonly have a +2

charge, except Ag+1, Cr+3, and Au+3


Predict the products if a reaction occurs or write NR for no reaction…

Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + Cu (s)

Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + Ag (s)

AgNO3 (aq) + Cu (s)

The nonmetal activity levels increase as you go from the bottom to the top of the periodic

table:

Given that F>Cl>Br>I. Predict the products or write NR…

NaBr (s) + Cl2 (g)

NaBr (s) + I2 (s)

Redox Reactions:

Redox reactions exchange electrons. When balancing a reaction …

(1) electrons lost = electrons gained

(2) atoms on either side of the reaction must balance

(3) total charge on either side of the reaction must balance.

Oxidation Reduction increases oxidation number reduces oxidation number

lose electrons gain electrons

2 Cl-1 Cl2 + 2 e- K+ + 1 e- K

Cl-1 is oxidized K+ is reduced

Cl-1 is a reducing agent K+ is an oxidizing agent

in a compound with lighter halogens or oxygen

6) Compounds sum of oxidation numbers equal zero

7) polyatomic ions sum of oxidation numbers equal charge of ion


Balancing Complicated Redox Rxns using the Half Rxn Method (Ch 18):

The half reaction method of balancing for the electrochemistry reactions splits apart

the oxidation half reaction from the reduction half reaction and then adds the two

together for an overall reaction.

1) Assign oxidation numbers to each atom.

2) Determine what is being oxidized and what is reduced.

3) Split the skeleton equation into two half reactions label appropriately as oxidation

or reduction reactions.

4) Complete and balance each half reaction (This method does not need to use the

oxidation numbers)

a) balance atoms that change their oxidation numbers

b) balance O by adding H2O

c) balance H by adding H+

d) balance charges by including the electrons as products in the oxidation

reaction and electrons as reactants in the reduction reaction

e) If the solution is basic: add equal OH-1 ions on both sides of the equation to

counter all H+ ions, every H+ and OH-1 become H2O essentially removing all

H+ ions from the reaction.

5) Combine the two half reactions to obtain overall equation

a) Multiply each half reaction by the factor needed to have equivalent

electrons lost and gained.

b) Simplify and reduce to the lowest whole number ratio

6) Check balancing

a) Do atoms balance?

b) Are the sum of charges of reactants equal to those of products?

c) Are the same number on electrons lost and gained?

Redox Applications: Combustion, Bleaching, Batteries, Metallurgy, Corrosion,

Respiration, Titration

Redox Titration: Electrons transfer. Titrate with burette as liquid is slowly added to a flask. Color changes to indicate endpoint just like acid/base titrations.

Example :

The indicator, MnO4-1 has an intense dark purple color. For the example below,

MnO4-1 is a dark purple reactant in the burette. It will colorlessly react with oxalic

acid in the flask until the oxalic acid runs out. At the endpoint, excess MnO4-1 turns

the flask solution purple.

Calcium levels in blood may be determined by adding oxalate ion to precipitate the

calcium oxalate, CaC2O4…
