A. Major Points and Concepts
Chemical Equations
Unbalanced/Balanced- SO2(g) + O2(g) -> SO3(g)
reactant product
Unbalanced- SO2(g) + O2(g) -> SO3(g)
reactant product
Balanced- 2SO2(g) + O2(g) -> 2SO3(g)
reactant product
What is Stoichiometry?
It is the process of using chemical equations to calculate the relative masses of the reactants and products.
Mole to Mole Relationship
All moles to mole relationships come from balanced equations.
Mole to Mole Conversions
Mole to mole conversions are the heart of stoichiometry.
Steps of Stoichiometry
1) identify given target compounds
2) balance equation for reaction
3) set up problem, convert to moles if needed
4) use mole ratios to calculate number of mole of desired compound
5) convert to grams of desired compound if needed
