Presentation Transcript
Slide1© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Stoichiometric Calculations The coefficients in the balanced equation give the ratio of moles of reactants and products.
Slide2© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Stoichiometric Calculations Starting with the mass of Substance A, you can use the ratio of the coefficients of A and B to calculate the mass of Substance B formed (if it’s a product) or used (if it’s a reactant).
Slide3© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Stoichiometric Calculations Starting with 1.00 g of C 6 H 12 O 6 … we calculate the moles of C 6 H 12 O 6 … use the coefficients to find the moles of H 2 O… and then turn the moles of water to grams. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O

Slide5© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Limiting Reactants • The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount. – In other words, it’s the reactant you’ll run out of first (in this case, the H 2 ).
Slide6© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Limiting Reactants In the example below, the O 2 would be the excess reagent .
Slide7© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Theoretical Yield • The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be made. – In other words, it’s the amount of product possible as calculated through the stoichiometry problem. • This is different from the actual yield, which is the amount one actually produces and measures.
Slide8© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.Percent Yield One finds the percent yield by comparing the amount actually obtained (actual yield) to the amount it was possible to make (theoretical yield): Percent yield = x 100 actual yield theoretical yield
