Mole Ratios Stoichiometry: The study of quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants

used and amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction.

Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass. Recall that the law states that

matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In any chemical reaction, the

amount of matter present at the end of the reaction is the same as the amount of matter

present at the beginning. Therefore, the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.

Mole ratio A mole ratio is a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances in

a chemical reaction. The numbers in a conversion factor come from the coefficients of the

balanced chemical equation.

The production of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen and hydrogen gases is an important industrial

reaction called the Haber process, after German chemist Fritz Haber.

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g) The balanced equation can be analyzed in several ways, as shown in Figure below.

The following six mole ratios can be written for the ammonia forming reaction above.

1 mol N2

3 mol H2 ,

3 mol H2

1 mol N2 ,

1 mol N2

2 mol NH3 ,

2 mol NH3

1 mol N2 ,

2 mol NH3

3 mol H2 ,

3 mol H2

2 mol NH3

Note that the number of mole ratios you can write for a chemical reaction involving a total of

n substances is (n)(n-1). Thus, for reactions involving four and five substances, you can write

12 and 20 moles ratios, respectively.

Four substances: (4)(3) = 12 mole ratios

Five substances: (5)(4) = 20 mole ratios

Limiting Reactant

In the reaction,

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g)

One mole of N2 will react with three moles of H2 to form two moles of NH3. Now let us suppose

that a chemist was to react three moles of N2 with six moles of H2.

Hydrogen gas will be completely used up while there will be 1 mole of nitrogen gas left over

after the reaction is complete. Finally, the reaction will produce 4 moles of NH3 because that

is also two times as much as shown in the balanced equation. The overall reaction that

occurred in words:

2 mol N2 + 6 mol H2 → 4 mol NH3

All the amounts are doubled from the original balanced equation.

The limiting reactant (or limiting reagent) is the reactant that determines the amount of

product that can be formed in a chemical reaction.

The reaction proceeds until the limiting reactant is completely used up. In our example above,

the H2 is the limiting reactant.

The excess reactant (or excess reagent) is the reactant that is initially present in a greater

amount than will eventually be reacted.

In other words, there is always excess reactant left over after the reaction is complete. In the

above example, the N2 is the excess reactant.

Our bodies need vitamins, minerals, and some other elements in specific amounts to facilitate normal metabolic reactions. A lack of these substances can lead to

• Abnormalities in growth and development.

• Abnormalities in functioning of your body’s cells. ➢ Phosphorus is an essential element in living systems; phosphate groups occur regularly in

strands of DNA. ➢ Potassium is needed for proper nerve function, muscle control, and blood pressure. A diet

low in potassium and high in sodium might be a factor in high blood pressure. ➢ Vitamin B-12. Without adequate vitamin B-12, the body is unable to synthesize DNA

properly, affecting the production of red blood cells.

Why do we use excess of a reactant?

We use one of the components of the reaction in abundant quantities and often the least

expensive reactant, this to ensure that the reaction is continuous until the limiting reactant

finished as well as to increase the speed of the reaction.

A Bunsen burner in the lab where the gas is burning with oxygen. The products depend on the

amount of oxygen available to react. If the oxygen is in excess amount, the flame color is blue,

and the carbon is completely burned. In case of lack of oxygen, the carbon does not burn

completely, which turns the color of flame to yellow and accumulates black soot on the surface

of the cup.

Percent yield Most reactions never succeed in producing the predicted amount of product. Reactions do not

go to completion or yield as expected for a variety of reasons.

1) Liquid reactants and products might adhere to the surfaces of their containers or

evaporate.

2) Products other than the intended ones might be formed by competing reactions, thus

reducing the yield of the desired product.

3) Some amount of any solid product is usually left behind on filter paper or lost in the

purification process.

We can easily calculate the amount of products in a particular reaction, but the important

question is, is the quantity of products really the same as the quantity we calculated? Chemical

reactions often do not produce the same mass values that we calculate in our calculations.

Hence, we have two values for the product mass, theoretical and actual yield.

Theoretical yield: The maximum amount of product that can be produced from specific

quantities of reactants.

Actual yield: The amount of product produced when a chemical reaction occurs during a

practical experiment.

Percent yield: the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield.

percent yield = (actual yield)

(theoretical yield) × 100

45) Solid silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) forms when excess potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is added

to a solution containing 0.500 g of silver nitrate (AgNO3). Determine the theoretical yield

of Ag2CrO4. Calculate the percent yield if the reaction yields 0.455 g of Ag2CrO4.

Percent Yield in the Marketplace

Sulfuric acid is an important chemical because it is a raw material used to make products such

as fertilizers, detergents, pigments, and textiles. The cost of sulfuric acid affects the cost of

many of the consumer items you use every day. The steps of the manufacturing process are

shown below.

Step 1 S8(s) + 8O2(g) → 8SO2(g)

Step 2 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

Step 3 SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq)

The first step, the combustion of sulfur, produces an almost 100% yield. The second step also

produces a high amount of products when the reaction takes place in the presence of a catalyst

and raises the temperature to 400 ° C

49) What is the catalyst? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

50) What changes in the interaction with the temperature increase? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The reaction produces a thermal energy up to 600 ° C which reduces the amount of product.

In order for scientists to overcome this problem, the manufacturers re-pass the components

on a catalyst, cooling reaction and repeat the process four times, raising the percent yield up

to 98%.
