Let’s Dig In

ACTIVITY 1
Directions: Write a skeleton equation with proper labels for each reaction then classify which
type of chemical reaction it represents.

1. Solid zinc reacts with chlorine gas to form solid zinc chloride.
2. Aqueous lead (II) nitrate reacts with solid magnesium to yield
aqueous magnesium nitrate and solid lead.
3. Aqueous barium chloride reacts with aqueous sodium sulfate to yield an
aqueous sodium chloride and barium sulfate as precipitate.
4. Liquid ethanol reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water
5. Solid iron reacted with oxygen gas to form solid ferric oxide

ACTIVITY 2
Directions: Balance the following equations:
1. C2H6(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
2. Be2C + H2O → Be(OH)2 + CH4
3. NH3(g) + O2(g) → NO(g) + H2O(l)
4. Ca3(PO4)2(aq) + H3PO4(aq) → Ca(H2PO4)2(aq)
5. Fe2(SO4)3 + NH3 + H2O → Fe(OH)3 + (NH4)2SO4

Let’s Apply
Directions: Accomplish the following, write your answers in a clean bond paper.
A. Look around inside or outside your house. Identify five (5) activities that involve a
chemical reaction. Once identified, describe what evidence/s you saw that
helped you in determining the occurrence of chemical reactions.

B. Using the activities that you wrote in A., write a chemical equation that may represent
this reaction. Balance and classify the chemical equation

ACTIVITY 1
Directions: Answer the following. Write the final answers in the correct significant figures.
1. Consider this reaction: Ba3N2 + 6 H2O → 3 Ba(OH)2 + 2 NH3
a. What is the ratio of Ba3N2 molecules to H2O molecules to Ba(OH)2 molecules to NH3
molecules?
b. How many molecules of Ba3N2 is required to react with H2O to form 50 molecules of
NH3 based on your ratio in part (a)?
c. How many molecules of H2O are required to react completely with 6.022 x 1023
molecules of Ba3N2?
d. How many moles of Ba(OH)2 will be formed from the complete reaction of 48.3 moles
Ba3N2?
2. Consider this reaction: 4 FeS + 7 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 4 SO2
a. What is the ratio of FeS molecules to O2 molecules to Fe2O3 molecules to SO2
molecules?
b. How many molecules of SO2 will be produced from 16 molecules of FeS?
c. How many molecules of O2 is required to react with FeS to yield 14 molecules of
Fe2O3?
d. How many moles of FeS is required to produce 18.9 g of Fe2O3?

ACTIVITY 2
Directions: Write the balanced chemical equations of the following problems and compute for
the required values. Show your solutions for each item. Answers must be in the correct
significant figures.
1. Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, reacts with water to form phosphoric acid, H 3PO4, and
hydrochloric acid, HCl.
a. What mass of PCl5 is needed to react with an excess quantity of H2O to produce
33.9 g of H3PO4?
b. How many molecules of H2O are needed to react with 4.07 g of PCl5?
2. Butane, C4H10, burns with oxygen in air to give carbon dioxide and water.
a. What is the amount of water produced from 0.35 mol butane?
b. How many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced if 34.0 g of butane is burned
completely?
 Let’s Remember
Stoichiometric computations are made easy through the molar ratios we can
obtain from the correct balanced chemical equations of a given reaction. We can use this
ratio to convert moles of reactants to moles of product, moles of reactant to grams of
product, grams of reactant to grams of product and more.

Let’s Apply
Directions: From the following list of household activities, state how stoichiometry is being
used. Give an example on how stoichiometric calculations are applied in each given activity
and briefly narrate how important these calculations are for the activity. Use the table below
to organize your answers. Write your output in a clean short bond paper.
A. Washing clothes
B. Making coffee
C. Preparing vegetable salad
