Learn stoichiometry basics through the analogy of making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Understand balanced equations, mole ratios, and converting between moles and grams. Perfect for chemistry students!
E N D
Key Points: • Need a balanced equation • Compare materials using coefficients (mole ratio) • Any material can be compared to any other material in the equation (using moles) … some materials will be ignored.
Ca + KCl K + CaCl2 • What do we need to do first? • How many moles of KCl are required to react with 1 mole of Ca? • How many moles of KCl are required to react with 5 moles of Ca? • If I react 6 moles of calcium with 12 moles of potassium chloride, how many moles of potassium are produced?
Problem … • I can’t measure out “moles” • I can measure “grams” • Need to use Molar Mass from the Periodic Table to convert between grams and moles
NaF + CaBr2 CaF2 + NaBr • How many grams of CaBr2 are required to completely react with 275 grams of NaF?
