Imagine having 20 pieces of bread and 10 pieces of ham. How many ham sandwiches can be made? This question is exactly what this topic is about. The world wants to know ‘’how much,” whether it is chemistry or daily activities in life, this question is answered by Stoichiometry. If you have 4 frames and 12 wheels, how many bikes can be made? This is also a concept of stoichometry. The principles of Stoichiometry can also be used while cooking. If you are almost out of a certain ingredient, you could use the concept of Stoichiometry to figure out how much of every other ingredient is needed. Another example is that, a farmer determining how much fertilizer should be used, figuring out how fast you should go to get somewhere in a given period of …show more content…
The reactants are those substances that changes during a chemical reaction while the products are those that are yield during a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction is not balanced, we cannot derive the relationship between the products and reactants. So the first thing we should do when we see a chemical reaction is to balance it. How do we balance a chemical equation? Look at this scale; we can see that it is unbalanced wherein the right side weighs more than the left side. In order for us to make the two sides balanced, we need to put more mass on the left side to make both sides have the equal amount of mass. Just like a chemical equation, it should also be balanced on both sides. A chemical equation shows the substances that are involved in a chemical reaction, as mentioned above, the reactants (substances that react) and the products (substances that are produced). A chemical equation looks like this: Reactants …show more content…
5.) After balancing the chemical equation, recheck again if both sides have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the balanced equation. Examples of Balancing a Chemical Equation 1.) N2 + H2 NH3 In this chemical reaction, the Nitrogen (N2) reacts with Hydrogen (H2), yielding ammonia (NH3). The Nitrogen and the Hydrogen are the reactants while the ammonia is the product. In this equation, you can see that the number of atoms in the reactant side and the product side are not equal. The equation is not balanced since there are 2 Nitrogen atoms and also 2 Hydrogen atoms in the reactant side. However, there are 1 Nitrogen atom and 3 Hydrogen atoms in the product side. We were able to determine the number of atoms by looking at their respective subscripts. The subscript of an element tells how much atom they consist. To balance the chemical equation above, we will follow the 5 steps mentioned above. I. The elements found in the equation are Nitrogen and Hydrogen. II. There are 2 atoms of Nitrogen and 2 atoms of Hydrogen in the reactant side. There are only 1 Nitrogen atom and 3 Hydrogen Atoms in the product
A mixture of elements is what is known as compounds. Chemical reactions occur when particles react with each other and atoms in molecules get rearranged. Reactions happen either rapidly or slowly. The speed of a reaction is known as the rate of the reaction. This speed of chemical reaction depends on many factors such as temperature, particle size of reactants, and the intensity of reactants.
AP Chemistry Semester 1 Final Review 2016 Basics of Chemistry: Name the following compounds BO3 H2S NaOH OF8 PCl6 HNO3 HgNO2 Write the formula for each compound Pentaboron triselenide Sulfuric Acid Carbon Monoxide Lithium Chloride How many moles are in 58.6 g of AgNO3 How many grams are in 2.5 moles of Cl2
If all three of these elements are present,
The mole’s three identities include formula, molar mass or mole mass. This is defined as the mass of one mole or 6.02 * 1023 particles of that substance expressed in amu’s. 2. Explain how to determine the formula mass (mole mass) for a compound.
How does the amount of baking soda mixed with vinegar affect the volume of gas produced per 10 seconds? A reaction is when (usually) a solute acts on a solvent to create a reaction. An example of a reaction is an explosion, Here we will be using baking soda and vinegar which are our two components which will cause for a reaction to take place. Reactions can be affected by several things such as temperature, concentration and the presence or absence of a catalyst which is a substance which can increase the rate of reaction.
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper. There are different types of chemical reactions. A double displacement reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species. A a decomposition reaction is the separation of a chemical compound into elements or simpler compounds and the single-displacement reaction is a type of
Nitrogen is used to make certain explosives, and fertilizers. When nitrogen is used to make different items, it sometimes has to be reacted with hydrogen to make ammonia. The second element that has intrigued me is mercury. No one really knows who discovered mercury specifically, but we do know that it was discovered around 1500
Stoichiometry is a method used in chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, to determine a desired quantitative data. The purpose of the lab was to devise a method to determine the percent composition of NaHCO3 in an unknown mixture of compounds NaHCO3 and Na2CO. Heating the mixture of these two compounds will cause a decomposition reaction. Solid NaHCO3 chemically decomposes into gaseous carbon dioxide and water, via the following reaction: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The decomposition reaction was performed in a crucible and heated with a Bunsen burner.
This theory is useful in day-to-day situations, especially in a classroom
Verna Wang Hannah Palmer CHEM 101-069 Lab 11-19-16 Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents Lab Report Purpose: We are using the reaction of sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride to illustrate stoichiometry by demonstrating proportions needed to cause a reaction to take place. Background: Just like a recipe would call for a specific amount of one ingredient to a specific amount of another, stoichiometry is the same exact method for calculating moles in a chemical reaction. Sometimes, we may not have enough of or too much of one ingredient , which would be defined as limiting and excess reagent, respectively.
After the reaction is finished, the percentage composition of each element in the product can be found and used to calculate the empirical formula, which is the lowest whole number ratio
Nitrogen Nitrogen is an element, in which its name is derived from the Latin word ‘nitrum’ known to be the fifth most abundant element in the universe. Nitrogen is one of the building blocks of life; living organisms may cease to exist without the existence of nitrogen. It can be said that nitrogen makes up of 80 percent of our atmosphere. It has an atomic number of 7 and is located in the far left of the periodic table. The element belongs to Group 15, Period 2 and p Block and has an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p3.
