Stopchiometry: Quantitative Chemistry

  • Quantitative Numbers
  • Stoichiometry is a branch of Chemistry that deals with the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions
  • it is a generalization of mole conversions to chemical reactions.
  • Understanding the 6 types of Chemical reactions is the base of Stoichiometry
The six types of reactions:
  1. Synthesis Formation
  2. Decomposition
  3. Single Replacement (SR)
  4. Double Replacement (DR)
  5. Neutralization
  6. Combustion
1. Synthesis Formation:
  • A + B= AB
  • Usually elementsCompounds
  • 8 Fe + S8 8 FeS
  • S + 3F2 SF6
  •  
2. Decomposition:
  • AB= A+B
  • Reverse of Synthesis
  • 2 H2O 2 H2 + O2
  • 2N2O5 O2+ 4NO2
3. Single Replacement:
  • A+BC= B+ AC
  • Zinc + hydrochloric acid Zinc chloride + hydrogen 
  • Zn + 2 HClZnCl2 + H2 
  • Al + Fe2O3  Al2O3 + 2 Fe
4. Double Replacement:
  • AB+ CD= AD +BC
  • NaCl + AgNO3NaNO3 + AgCl
  • NaNO3 + KCl NaCl + KNO3
5. Neutralization:
  • Reaction between an acid and a base
  • Acid(H on the Left side) and a Base (Hydroxide OH except ammonia)
    HBr + NaOH
    NaBr + H2
  • Acid
    Base
    Water
    Salt
    HCl  +  NaOH H2O  +  NaCl
    HBr  +  KOH H2O  +  KBr
6. Combustion:
  • Reactions of something ( usually hydrocarbon with air)
  • Hydrocarbon Combustion always produces CO2 and H2O
  • CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2 H2
  • C8H18+ 2O2 8CO2 + 9 H2O
