Chapter 9 Stoichiometry

Review

Vocabulary

• composition stoichiometry • reaction stoichiometry • mole ratio• limiting reactant • excess reactant • percent yield • actual yield • theoretical yield

Section 9-1• Reaction stoichiometry involves the mass relationships between reactants and

products in a chemical reaction. • A mole ratio is the conversion factor that relates the amount in moles of any two

substances in a chemical reaction. The mole ratio is derived from the balanced equation.

• Amount of a substance is expressed in moles, and mass of a substance is

expressed using mass units such as grams, kilograms, and milligrams. • Mass and amount of substance are quantities, whereas moles and grams are

units. • A balanced chemical equation is necessary to solve any stoichiometric problem.

Section 9-2

• In an ideal stoichiometric calculation, the mass or the amount of any reactant or product can be calculated if the balanced chemical equation and the mass or amount of any other reactant or product are known.

• Types of Stoichiometry problems: Mole – Mole,

Mass – Mole, Mole – Mass, Mass – Mass.

Section 9-3• In actual reactions, the reactants are usually combined in proportions

different from the precise proportions required for complete reaction. • The limiting reactant controls the maximum possible amount of product

formed. • Given certain quantities of reactants, the quantity of the product is

always less than the maximum possible. Percent yield shows the relationship between the theoretical yield and actual yield for the product of a reaction.

percent = actual yield x 100 yield theoretical yield
