What is Stoichiometry?
Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationships or ratios between two or more
substances undergoing a physical change or chemical change (chemical reaction).
The word derives from the Greek words: stoicheion (meaning "element") and metron
(meaning "to measure"). Most often, stoichiometry calculations deal with the mass or
volume of products and reactants.
II. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is usually measured in grams (g) or
kilograms (kg) [SI Unit]. Another unit commonly used in chemistry is the atomic mass
unit (amu), which is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of Carbon-12.
The following are mass concepts used in stoichiometry:
1. Atomic Mass is the mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12 the mass of
Carbon-12, expressed in amu. The atomic mass of an atom is approximated by
multiplying the mass number of the atom (total number of protons and neutrons)
by 1 amu. Elements with multiple isotopes have a different atomic mass for each
isotope.
Example: Carbon-12 has an atomic mass of 12 amu, while Carbon-13 has an
atomic mass of 13 amu.
2. Atomic Weight (Average Atomic Mass) is the weighted average of the atomic
masses of all naturally-occurring isotopes of an element. This is equal to the sum
of the atomic masses of the isotopes, each multiplied by the relative abundance of
that particular isotope. All elements have a single atomic weight expressed in
amu, regardless of the number of isotopes of that element.
Example: Carbon has two isotopes that are abundant in nature: Carbon-12
with an atomic mass of 12 amu and natural abundance of 98.93%, and Carbon-13
with an atomic mass of 13 amu and natural abundance of 1.07%.
4. Formula Weight/ Mass is the sum of the atomic weights of each of the atoms in
a formula unit of a chemical compound. One formula unit of a substance contains
the atoms represented by its formula. For example, the formula weight of
Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) can be calculated by adding the weight of 1 atom of
Calcium to the weight of 2 atoms of Chlorine.
Solution: Ca: 1(40.1 amu)
+ Cl: 2(35.5 amu)
CaCl2: 111.1 amu
Note: The formula weight of a molecular compound (e.g. table sugar, water) is
the same as its molecular weight. The term “formula weight” is usually used for
ionic compounds and covalent-network compounds since they do not exist as
discrete molecules. Therefore, it would be technically incorrect to use the term
“molecular”. These compounds also do not have molecular formulas, only
empirical formulas which indicate the ratio between the amounts of their
component particles.
5. Molar Mass / Weight is the mass in grams of one mole of a substance (g/mol). It
is numerically equal to the atomic weight (if element), molecular mass (if
molecular compound), or formula weight (if ionic or covalent-network
compound) of the substance. For example , Carbon-12 has a molar mass of 12.01
g/mol and an atomic mass of 12.01 amu. To obtain the molar mass of a
substance, multiply its atomic/ molecular/ formula weight by ( [1 g/mol] / 1 amu).
Note: Atomic Mass Units (amu) should be used for calculations involving atoms,
molecules, or formula units of substances. For calculations involving moles of
substances, grams (g) should be used. Atomic/ Molecular/ Formula weights are
expressed in amu, while Molar Mass is expressed in g/mol, although they are
often used interchangeably because they are numerically equal.
Reactants (green) appear on the left side of the equation. Reactants are separated from
products by an arrow. Products (blue) appear on the right side of the equation. The
states/phases (yellow) of the reactants and products are written in parentheses to the right of
each compound using symbols (s or ↓-solid; l-liquid; g or ↑-gas; aq- aqueous solution).
Coefficients (red) are written to the left of the formula to balance the equation. Coefficients
represent the number of moles, particles (atoms, ions, molecules), or formula units of a
substance.
Subscripts are written after the formula and indicate the number of atoms of an
element per molecule or formula unit of a substance.
Meaning Composition
Symbol
* Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 • 5H2O) is an example of a salt that has water
incorporated into its crystal structure. The resulting crystal is called a hydrate, while the water is
called the water of hydration. Its formula indicates that for every formula unit of CuSO4, there
are 5 molecules of water. This implies that in one mole of the hydrate, there is 1 mol of CuSO4
and 5 mol H2O.
IV. Percent Composition
Percent composition is the percentage of the mass of a compound that comes from each
of the elements in a compound. It is obtained using the equation:

3. Calculating molar mass given mass (in grams) and the number of moles (n).
The molar mass of a substance may also be obtained by dividing the mass of the
substance expressed in grams by the number of moles of the substance.
● One mole of atoms, ions, or molecules, contains Avogadro’s number (6.02 x 1023)
of those particles.
Ex. 1 mol Na+ = (6.02 x 1023) Na+ ions
1 mol H = (6.02 x 1023) H atoms
1 mol CH4 = (6.02 x 1023) CH4 molecules
● One mole of molecules or formula units contains Avogadro’s number (6.02 x
1023) times the number of atoms or ions of each element in the compound.
Ex. 1 mol CH4 = (6.02 x 1023) (1) C atoms + (6.02 x 1023) (4) H atoms

1. The limiting reactantis the first reactant that is used up in a chemical reaction. When the
limiting reactant is used up, no more product can be formed.
2. The excess reactantis the reactant with a greater amount than necessary to react
completely with the limiting reactant.

What is Titration?
Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a titrant) to
a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration until the reaction reaches
neutralization, which is often indicated by a color change--end point. The solution called the
titrant must satisfy the necessary requirements to be a primary or secondary standard. In a broad
sense, titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
