CHEMICAL EQUATIONS CALCULATIONS
“Law of Conservation of Mass” by Antoine Lavoisier
The law states that mass are conserved in a chemical reaction. It follows
that atoms are
neither created nor destroyed during any chemical reaction.
Balancing of Chemical Equation. Equalizing the number of atoms of each
element on either
side of the equation is called balancing of chemical equations. Reactants are
written on the
left hand side and products are written on the right hand side of the
equation. Balancing of
equations is in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass.
For balancing, we need to adjust the stoichiometric coefficients by putting
suitable
coefficients. Never change the subscripts while balancing the equation.
CH4 + 2O2
CO2 + 2H2O
2C2H6(g) +
7O2(g)
4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Chemical equation must have an equal # of atoms of each element on either
side.
Stoichiometry in chemical reactions.
This is the quantitative study of reactants and products in a chemical
reaction.
Chemical equation gives a description of chemical reactions. There are two
parts of a
chemical equation: reactants (left of the arrow) and products (right of the
arrow):
2H2 + O2
H2O
Read the + sign as “reacts with” and the arrow as “produces”.
Numbers in front of the formulas are called Stoichiometric coefficients. This
gives
number of moles (or molecules) of reactants and products.
Numbers in the formulas (they appear as a subscripts); give number of atoms
in a
molecule.
Example: Consider the reaction of methane with oxygen:
CH4 + O2
CO2 + H2O
Atoms in the reactants: 1 C, 4 H, and 2 O.
Atoms in the products: 1 C, 2 H, and 3 O.

The Limiting reactant Concept
The one or more reactants that are completely used up in a chemical reaction
are called limiting reactants.
Consider 10 H2 molecules mixed with 7 O2 molecules
According to balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric ratio of H2 to O2
is 2 : 1
2H2(g) + O2(g)
2H2O(l)
i.e. 2 molecules of hydrogen react completely with 1 molecule of oxygen
This means that 10 H2 molecules require 5 O2 Molecules. Since we have 7 O2
molecules, the limiting reactant is Hydrogen as it is completely consumed.
The O2 is
present in excess by 2 molecules.
2CO + O2
2CO2
We know that 2 moles of CO( 2 x28.01g) react with 1 mole of Oxygen (2 x
16.00g) to
form 2 moles of Carbon dioxide( 2 x 44.01g). If we mix 1 mole of CO with 2
moles of
O2, CO is completely used up in the reaction leaving O2 excess. Thus CO is
the
limiting reagent.

Theoretical yield is the amount of product that will form if all the limiting
reactant
is reacted.
