STOICHIOMETRY(CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS)

STOICHIOMETRY

- The area of study involved with calculation of the quantities of substances consumed or produced in a chemical reaction

- Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations

- Reactants are substances that are consumed

- Products are substances that are formed

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

- Reactants are written on the left side of a chemical equation and products on the right side

- An arrow pointing towards the products, is used to separate the reactants from the products

- The plus sign (+) is used to separate different reactants or different products

- Chemical equations must be consistent with experimental facts

(reactants and products in a reaction that actually takes place)

- Chemical equations must be balanced (equal numbers of atoms of each kind on both sides)

(Daltons atomic theory)

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

States of reactants and products

Physical states of reactants and products are represented by:(g): gas

(l): liquid(s): solid

(aq): aqueous or water solution

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

- Whole numbers are placed on the left side of the formula (called coefficients) to balance the equation (subscripts remain unchanged)

- The coefficients in a chemical equation are the smallest set of whole numbers that balance the equation

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + H2O(g)

2 C atoms 2 C atoms

Place the coefficient 2 in front of CO2 to balance C atoms

BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

(5+1)=6 H atoms 3(1x2)=6 H atoms

Place 3 in front of H2O to balance H atoms




C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

1+(3x2)=7 O atoms (2x2)+3=7 O atoms

Place 3 in front of O2 to balance O atoms




C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

2 C atoms(5+1)=6 H atoms

1+(3x2)=7 O atoms

2 C atoms(3x2)=6 H atoms

(2x2)+3=7 O atoms

- Check to make sure equation is balanced- When the coefficient is 1, it is not written




Balance the following chemical equations

Fe(s) + O2(g) → Fe2O3(s)

C12H22O11(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g)

(NH4)2Cr2O7(s) → Cr2O3(s) + N2(g) + H2O(g)


TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Five Types of Chemical Reactions

- Combination reaction

- Decomposition reaction

- Single-replacement reaction

- Double-replacement reaction

- Combustion reaction

COMBINATION REACTION

- Addition or synthesis reaction- Two or more reactants produce a single product

X + Y → XY

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq)

DECOMPOSITION REACTION

- Two or more products are formed from a single reactant

XY → X + Y

2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g)

BaCO3(s) → BaO(s) + CO2(g)

2NaN3(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N2(g)

SINGLE-REPLACEMENT REACTION

- Substitution or Displacement reaction- An atom or molecule replaces another atom or molecule

A + BY → B + AY

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Br2(g)

- Metal replaces metal and nonmetal replaces nonmetal- Cation replaces cation and anion replaces anion

DOUPLE-REPLACEMENT REACTION

- Exchange or metathesis (transpose) reaction- Parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds

AX + BY → AY + BX

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

CaCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

COMBUSTION REACTION

- Reaction between a substance and oxygen (air) accompanied by the production of heat and light

- A common synonym for combustion is burn

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + heat

2CH3OH + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) + heat

2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) + heat

Hydrocarbons are the most common type of compounds that undergo combustion producing CO2 and H2O

ACIDS

- Ionize in aqueous solutions to form hydrogen (H+) ions- Proton (H+) donors

- H+ and H3O+ are used interchangeably

Ionize- Dissolving in solution (water) to form ions

ExamplesHCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

HNO3(aq) → H+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

Sum of charges on each side of equation must be equal

Strong Acids

- Transfer 100% (or very nearly 100%) of their protons to H2O in aqueous solution

- Completely or nearly completely ionize in aqueous solution

- Strong electrolytes

ExamplesHCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HBr, H3PO4

ACIDS

ACIDS

Weak Acids

- Transfer only a small percentage (< 5%) of theirprotons to H2O in aqueous solution

ExamplesOrganic acids: acetic acid, citric acid

BASES

- Proton (H+) acceptors- Produce hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water

Examples NaOH → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

Strong Bases

- Completely or nearly completely ionize in aqueous solution

-Strong electrolytes

Examples- Hydroxides of Groups 1A and 2A are strong bases

LiOH, CsOH, Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2

most common in lab: NaOH and KOH

BASES

Weak Bases

- produce small amounts of OH- ions in aqueous solution

Examplesmethylamine, cocaine, morphine

most common: NH3

- Small amounts of NH4+ and OH- ions are

produced in aqueous solution

- The name aqueous ammonia is preferred over ammonium hydroxide

BASES

ACID-BASE REACTION

- Also referred to as Neutralization Reaction

- Occurs when solutions of an acid and a base are mixed

- Products are salt and water when the base is a metal hydroxide

ExampleHCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

HNO3(aq) + KOH(aq) → KNO3(aq) + H2O(l)

A cation from a base combines with an anion from an acid to form a salt

ACID-BASE REACTION

Gas Formation

- Carbonates and bicarbonates react with acids to form CO2 gas

HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq) 2HCl(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq)

- H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is unstable and decomposes to produce CO2

H2CO3(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)

- Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced when Na2S reacts with an acid 2HCl(aq) + Na2S(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2S(g)

- Also called redox reactions- Involve transfer of electrons from one species to another

Oxidation - loss of electronsReduction - gain of electrons

Ionic solid sodium chloride (Na+ and Cl- ions) formed from solidsodium and chlorine gas

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

The oxidation (rusting) of iron by reaction with moist air4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)

OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION

- There is no transfer of electrons from one reactant to another reactant

BaCO3(s) → BaO(s) + CO2(g)

- Double-replacement reactions

- Most reactions we have already come across

NONREDOX REACTION

OXIDATION NUMBER (STATE)

The concept of oxidation number - provides a way to keep track of electrons in redox reactions

- not necessarily ionic charges

Conventionally - actual charges on ions are written as n+ or n-

- oxidation numbers are written as +n or -n

Oxidation - increase in oxidation number (loss of electrons)Reduction - decrease in oxidation number (gain of electrons)

OXIDATION NUMBERS

1. Oxidation number of uncombined elements = 0 Na(s), O2(g), H2(g), Hg(l)

2. Oxidation number of a monatomic ion = chargeNa+ = +1, Cl- = -1, Ca2+ = +2, Al3+ = +3

3. Oxygen is usually assigned -2H2O, CO2, SO2, SO3

- Add atomic masses to get the formula mass (in u) = molar mass (in g/mol)

- The mass, in grams, of 1 mole of the substance

MOLAR MASS
