Lesson 20: Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry- Quantitative Chemistry

·         Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative analysis if chemical reactions
·         It is generalization of mole conversions to chemical reactions
·         Understanding the 6 types of chemical reactions is the foundation of stoichoimetry

6 Types of Reactions


1.      Synthesis
2.      Decomposition
3.      Single Replacement (S.R.)
4.      Double Replacement (D.R.)
5.      Neutralization
6.      Combustion



Synthesis A+B →AB
·         Usually elements→compound
·         Balance the following reactions:
1.      2K + Br2 → 2KBr
2.      4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
3.      2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3

Decomposition AB→ A+B
·         Reverse of synthesis
Ø  Always assume the compounds decompose into elements during decomposition
·         Balance the following equations:
1.      2NaCl → 2Na + Cl2
2.      2KI → 2K + I2
3.      Mg3N2 → 3Mg + N2

Single Replacement (S.R.) A+ BC → B + AC
·         Balance the following equations:
1.      Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 +Cu
2.      Cl2 + 2NaBr → 2NaCl + Br2
3.      Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

Double Replacement (D.R.) AB+CD → AD + BC
·         Balance the following equations;
1.      AgNO3 + HCl → AgCl + HNO3
2.      Fe2O3 + 6HCl → 2FeCl3 + 3H2O

Neutralization
·         Reaction between an acid and a base
·         Balance the following equations;
1.      HCl + NaOH NaCl + HOH
2.      Ca(OH)2 + H2CO3 CaCO3 + 2 HOH

Combustion
·         Reactions of something (usually hydrocarbon) with air.
·         Hydrocarbon combustion always produces CO2 + H2O
·         Balance the following equations:
1.      C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
2.      C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O
3.      C7H6O3 + 7O2  → 7CO2 + 3H2O
