Factor-Label Technique (memorize these steps)

1. Determine the relationship between the known

and the unknown units.
2. Create two ratios from this relationship.
3. Set the given quantity (to be converted) equal to
itself.
4. Multiply the right hand side of the equation by
whichever ratio cancels out the old units and leaves
you with the new units.

Steps for Solving Stoichiometry Problems

These steps should be memorized.

1. Obtain a balanced chemical equation and

determine the known and unknown.

2. Convert the starting units to moles

3. Convert moles of the known to moles of the

unknown using the mole ratio (which is obtained
from the coefficients in the equation)

4. Convert moles of the newly-found quantity to the

desired units.

5. Write a concluding statement.
