Stoichiometry (Quantitive)
Wednesday, January 19, 2011 /6:20 PM

- stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitive analysis of chemical reactions
- it is a generalization of mole conversions to chemical reactions
- understahe 6 types of chemical reactions is the foundation of stoichiometry

6 types of reactions

Synthesis: - A + B --> AB
                - usually elements --> compounds
                - balance the following equations
1. 3Cu + 2P --> Cu3P2
2. Sr + S --> SrS
3. 3Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2

Decomposition: - AB --> A + B
                         - reverse of synthesis
                         - always assume the compounds decompose into elements during decomposition
                         - balance the following decomposition reactions
1. 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
2. C6H12O6 --> 6C + 6H2 + 3O2
3. 6NaHCO3 --> 3Na2CO3 + 3H2O + 3CO2

Single Replacement: - A + BC --> B + AC  
                                         - balance the following reactions 
1. Mg + 2H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2 
2. Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
3. 2KI + Cl2 --> 2KCl + I2

Double Replacement: - AB + CD --> AD + BC
                                 - balance the following : * metals always first*
1. NaCl + AgNO3 --> NaNO3 + AgCl
2. Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI --> PbI2 + 2KNO3
3.AgNO3 + KCl --> AgCl + KNO3

Neutralization: -reaction with an acid and a base
                       -balance the following
1. HBr + NaOH --> NaBr + H2O
2. HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl
3. HBr + NaOH --> NaBr + H2O

Combustion: - reactions of something (usually hydrocarbon) w/ air
                    - hydrocarbon combustion always produces CO2 + H2O
                           - balance the following
1. 2Cu + O2 --> 2CuO
2. C10H8 + 12O2 --> 10CO2 + 4H2O
3. C3H8 + 5O2--> 3CO2 + 4H2O
