REACTANTS AND
PRODUCTS
Learning Objectives:

01 How much product will be formed from

specific amounts of starting materials
(reactants) ?

02 How much starting material must be used

to obtain a specific amount of product?
Applying all of our knowledge of molar mass and the
mole concept...

• Stoichimotery- Quantitative
study of reactants and products
in a chemical reaction.
Applying all of our knowledge of molar mass and the
mole concept...
Mole method...means the stoichiometric
coefficients in an chemical equation can
be interpreted as the number of moles
of each substance

1 N²(g) + 3H² (g) 2NH³ (g)

Let consider a simple example in which 6.0 moles of H²
react completely with N² to form NH³.

How much NH³ is formed?

1 N² (g) + 3H² (g) 2NH³ (g)

Suppose 16g of
Basic concepts
H² react completely
with N² to form NH³. How many
grams of NH³ will be formed?

I need to get from g of H² to grams of

NH³
 Basic concepts
1N² (g) + 3H² (g) 2NH³ (g)

These units are in moles...

Grams of H² Moles of H²

Grams of NH³ Moles of NH³

Grams of H² Moles of H²

Grams of NH³ Moles of NH³

1N² (g) + 3H² (g) 2NH³ (g)

Grams of H² Moles of H²

Grams of NH³ Moles of NH³

1N² (g) + 3H² (g) 2NH³ (g)

The food we eat is degrated or broken down, in our bodies to
provide energy for growth and function. A general overall

If 856g of (C⁶H¹²O⁶) is consumed by a person over a
certain period, what is the mass of (CO²) produced?
C⁶H¹²0⁶ + O² CO² + H²0

We need to balance first...

If 856g of (C⁶H¹²O⁶) is consumed by a person over a
certain period, what is the mass of (CO²) produced?
C⁶H¹²0⁶ + O² CO² + H²0
1C⁶H¹²0⁶ + 6O² 6CO² + 6H²0

If 856g of (C⁶H¹²O⁶) is consumed by a

person over a certain period, what is the
mass of (CO²) produced?
