Moles and chemical equations: Stoichiometry
SCH3U_06-07
An equation's coefficient allows us to determine the relative masses of products and reactants by using mol calculations. When we write a balanced chemical equation we are indicating the numbers of moles of reactants and products involved in the chemical reaction. Consider the reaction between copper and oxygen:
2Cu(s) 2 mol
+ O2 (g) 1 mol
sssssd
2 CuO(s) 2 mol
This equations shows that 2 mol of copper atoms react with 1 mol of oxygen molecules to give 2 mol of copper (II) oxide.
Hence: =
2 x 63.5 127 g
1 x (16 x 2) 32 g
2 x (63.5 + 16) 159 g
Total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of the products, as predicted by the Law of Conservation of mass, (FYI: this law was formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1774), for any chemical reaction. We can thus use this idea to calculate the masses of products formed and reactants used in a chemical reaction.
Example:
Al2 (SO4)3 + 3 NH3 + 6 H2O sssssd 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 (NH4)2SO4
a. Name the reactants and the products.
b.
How many moles of H2O are required to react with 2.50 moles of aluminium sulphate?
c. How many moles of aluminium hydroxide would be produced by the reaction of 5.00 moles of NH3 ?
d. How many grams of aluminium hydroxide would be produced by the reaction of 5.00 moles of NH3?
e. How many moles are there in 200.0 g of ammonium sulphate?
f.
How many moles of aluminium sulphate are required to produce 200.0 g of ammonium sulphate?
g. How many grams of aluminium hydroxide will be produced if 36.0 g of water react?
h. How many molecules of ammonia are required to react with 50.0 g of aluminium sulphate?
i.
If 4.50 x 1046 molecules of water react, how many grams of aluminium hydroxide will be formed?
