All stoichiometry problems start with a balanced equation.
You must check for this!
If it is not balanced, BALANCE IT!
Can change coefficients but CANNOT change subscripts
Example◦ 3S + 2 Fe Fe2S3
S

Fe2S3
Al + CuO Al2O3 + Cu
____________________________
H2 + O2 H2O

Remember what an equation actually means◦ Mg + S MgS◦ One _____________reacts with one ___________
creating one formula unit of MgS But
◦ This also means that one mole of _________ reacts with one mole of ___________ to form one mole of _______ formula units.
◦ 1 mol Mg, 1 mol S, and 1 mol MgS are stoichiometry equivalents
What about the equation
◦ C3H8 + 5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O
◦ Now, ____ mol C3H8, _____ mol O2, _____ mol CO2, and _______ mol H2O are stoichiometry equivalents
As stoichiometry equivalents, they can be used in a conversion factor
__________________ Conversion Factors
◦ One equivalent is placed on top and one on bottom
◦ Allows us to move from one compound to another in a balanced equation
Given the equation: MgCl2 + 2 AgNO3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl
What is the mass of AgCl produced if 24g of MgCl2 is reacted with excess AgNO3?
What amount of MgCl2 will react with 3.85 g AgNO3?
So far we have been assuming that we have an excess of all the other reactants
This is not often true….often you have a set amount of both reactants◦ Each amount would lead you to a different
amount of product◦ Must use the number that is ___________
Given the equation: MgCl2 + 2 AgNO3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl
How much AgCl will be produced if 28g of MgCl2 is reacted with 51g of AgNO3?
Yield is the amount of product that you get from a reaction
Theoretical yield is the amount that you should get based on using stoichiometry
Actual yield is the amount of product actually attained during an experiment
Calculated by taking

Given the equation: MgCl2 + 2 AgNO3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl
What is the percent yield of Mg(NO3)2 if 168.4 g of AgNO3 is reacted to produce 47.2g of Mg(NO3)2?
