 Stoichiometry: Predicting Amounts in Reactions
Stoichiometry is the process of determining how much product is made or how much reactant is needed during a chemical reaction. As we know, in chemical reactions atoms are conserved. We show this in a balanced chemical equation. The balanced chemical equation tells us two things: 1. Which substances begin with (reactants) and end with (products) during the rearrangement process. 2. The ratio of particles involved. This ratio can be seen either as a ratio of individual particles OR as a ratio of moles. In the lab it is only practical to work with moles of substances rather than individual atoms or molecules, and so we interpret our equations as a ratio of moles, or a mole ratio. Example: 2 Mg + 1O2 → 2 MgO means for every 2 moles of Mg burned, 1 mole of O2 is required to produce 2 moles of MgO, or a ratio of 2 moles Mg : 1 mole O2 : 2 moles MgO We can use this mole ratio relationship to make predictions about how much we need of something, or how much we can make from what we have. Making Predictions In every reaction, there are three stages we need to consider to make good predictions: 1. Before: What we have before the reaction takes place. 2. Change: How much of each substance actually changes during the reaction 3. After: How much of each substance is present after the reaction is complete. Some good organization can help us in making good predictions. We have an organizational table that can help us track the Before-­‐Change-­‐After for a reaction. Below is an example of a problem involving a chemical reaction. Sample Problem: Hydrogen sulfide gas, which smells like rotten eggs, burns in air to produce sulfur dioxide and water. How many moles of oxygen gas would be needed to completely burn 2.4 moles of hydrogen sulfide?

Researchers outside the company believe the flavoring mixture, known as “7X”, contains oils of orange, lemon, nutmeg, cinnamon, and coriander. The original mixture also contained caffeine, vanilla, caramel, lime juice, sugar or artificial sweetener, and citric acid. Over the years, the recipe has changed. For example, the original recipe contained citric acid but this was combined with phosphoric acid to cut production costs. Corn syrup replaced sugar for the same reason. To produce 1000 cans of Coca-­‐Cola Classic, 40g (0.21 moles) of caffeine are reacted with phosphoric acid and other ingredients. How many moles of phosphoric acid are required?

In this experiment, a solution of copper (II) chloride will react with aluminum wire.
Careful measurements and calculations will allow you to determine mole
relationships.
Title:
Purpose/Question:
Procedure:
Day 1
1. Obtain a 30-cm length of aluminum wire, a vial of copper (II) chloride, and a
dixie cup. Label the cup with the period and group number so you can find it
again.
2. Measure out 2.0 g of copper (II) chloride. Record the actual amount used (ex.
2.01 or 2.08). Be sure to use the same balance for all measurements.
3. Record the mass of the aluminum wire.
4. Record the mass of the labeled cup.
5. Clamp a clean test tube to a ring stand.
6. Add 20.0 mL of distilled water to the test tube.
7. Very carefully add the copper (II) chloride from the weigh boat to the test
tube. Stir gently with a glass-stirring rod to dissolve the crystals completely.
8. Coil the aluminum wire by wrapping it around a pencil. Stretch the wire
until it is about 2 cm longer than the test tube. Place the coiled wire into the
test tube with the copper (II) chloride solution so that the straightened end is
out of the solution.
9. Note the reaction that occurs; record your observations.
10. Allow the reaction to continue for 20 minutes or as long as possible.
11. Shake the copper from the aluminum wire and remove the wire from the test
tube. Using the distilled water bottle, rinse the wire into the weighed, labeled
cup. Dip the wire in the acetone located on the stock table, then set it aside
to dry.
12. Pour the contents of the test tube into the labeled cup. Use the distilled water
wash bottle to rinse the test tube into the beaker.
13. Carefully decant the solution from the copper into another beaker. Rinse the
copper with about 10 mL of distilled water, stirring gently with a clean
stirring rod. Allow the copper to settle, then decant into the other beaker.
Repeat this 3 more times. To minimize error, try not to allow any of the
copper to escape during decantation. Discard the liquid from the other beaker
into the waste container on the stock table.
14. After the final rinse, place the labeled cup on the stock table.
15. Record the mass of the aluminum wire to the nearest 0.01g, then put the
wire in the designated location on the central stock table.
16. Clean the used beaker and your lab station.
Modeling Chemistry TN Modeling Curriculum Committee Pope John Paul II High School 277 Procedure—Day 2
19. When the copper is dry, find the mass of the cup and copper to the nearest 0.01g.
Return the cup that contains the copper to your instructor.
Data Construct a data table from the measurements recorded in lab.
Calculations
Show all work, units, and appropriate sig figs. 1.
Determine the mass (in grams) of Al that reacted during the experiment.
2.
Determine the moles of Al reacted.
3.
Determine the mass of Cu produced during the experiment.
4.
Determine the moles of Cu produced during the experiment.
5.
Determine the value of the ratio mol Al: mol Cu. Make sure that this ratio
is in its simplest form by dividing each quantity by the smaller of the two.
Report the exact ratio.
Modeling Chemistry TN Modeling Curriculum Committee Pope John Paul II High School 278 Analysis
4.
Because of our deep and abiding belief that atoms react in simple whole
number ratios, what do you suppose is the actual ratio of mol Al: mol Cu?
(Note: Your team should use class results to help you decide the correct
ratio.)
5.
Write a balanced equation for the single replacement reaction between solid
aluminum and aqueous copper (II) nitrate.
6.
Complete a BCA table for this chemical reaction. (NOTE: Be sure to enter
the exact number of moles of Al and the exact number of moles of copper (II)
sulfate that were present before the reaction began.)
7.
How many moles of copper does the BCA Chart predict should be produced in
this chemical reaction? Convert this quantity to grams
8.
How many grams of copper were actually recovered at the end of the lab
procedure?
9.
Using the actual yield of Cu and the theoretical yield of Cu, determine the
percent yield.
Modeling Chemistry TN Modeling Curriculum Committee Pope John Paul II High School 279 Conclusions
If your ratio mol Al: mol Cu is greater than the accepted value, then either the moles
of Al is too high, or the moles of Cu is too low. If your ratio is lower than the accepted
value, then either the moles of Al is too low, or the moles of Cu is too high. Use the %
yield to help you decide whether the problem is due to the value you have obtained
for the moles of copper.
Discuss as many specific experimental errors (minimum 3) that could account for the
ratio being too high or too low. (Your lab errors should make sense with your data.)
