Energy and Percent Yield

• enthalpy is the energy stored in chemical bonds
• symbol of enthalpy is H
• units of Joules (J)
• change in enthalpy is  ΔH
• in exothermic reactions enthalpy decreases
• in endothermic reactions enthalpy increases

Percent Yield

• the theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of products that should be formed
• the actual amount depends on the experiment
• the percent yield is like a measure of success. (How close is the amount to the predicted amount?)
• Percent Yield= actual/theoretical x 100

If 47.7g of Urea are produced, determine the theoretical (predicted) yield of CO2.

What is the percent yield of CO2 if 12.0g is produced?

47.7 x 1mol/60g x 1/1 x 44g/1mol = 34.98 g

12/34.9.98 = 34%

Limiting Reactants

• in chemical reactions, usually one one chemical gets used up before the other
• the chemical used up first is called the limiting reactant
• one it's used up the reaction stops
• limiting reactants determines the quantity of products formed
• to fine the limiting reactant assume one reactant is used up. Determine how much of this reactant is required

2.5 mol of CuSo4 reacts with 2.5 mol of NaNO3. Determine the L.R and calculate how many moles Na2SO4 are formed.

CuSO4+ 2NaNO3= Na2SO4+Cu(NO3)2

2.5mol (CuSO4) x 2/1 = 5.0 mol of NaNO3                    NaNO3 is L.R

2.5mol (NaNO3) x 1/2 = 1.25 mol Na2SO4

Other Conversions: Volume and Heat

As you did before, the conversion factor for volume is 22.4 L/mol
Heat can be used as a separate term in the chemical reactions
    -This is called enthalpy
    - Rxns that release heat are exothermic
    - Rxns that absorb heat are endothermic
Both can be use in stoichiometry

Examples:

If 5.0g of methane (CH4) decomposed, what volume of hydrogen would you have?

1) Balance your equation

CH4= C + 2H2

2) Start writing the equation out to find the volume of hydrogen

5.0g  x  1 mole    x  2   x    2g       = 0.31 g of hydrogen
                16 g         1       1 mol

Stoichiometry Investigation

Today, we did the lab that needed to find the mass of the precipitate, which is stronium sulphate and copper (II0 nitrate. We separated the precipitate by filtering and drying it. Overall, we did well on the lab and it was a fun lab.
