STOICHIOMETRY
Stoichiometry is the basic chemical calculation that states quantitative relation of chemical formulas and chemical equations. Here are the materials you need to know to understand, from the concept of moles and molar masses, empirical formulas and molecular formulas, basic stoichiometry of solutions and ideal gases, and the writing and equalization of reactions, with examples of problems and discussions. I. BASIC LAW OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE A. The Law of Conservation of Mass (Lavoisier's Law) "The mass of substances before and after the reaction is the same". Example: S + O 2 → SO 2 2 gr 32 gr 64 gr B. Fixed Comparative Law (Proust Law) "The ratio of the elemental masses in each compound is fixed" Example: H 2 O → mass H: mass O = 2: 16 = 1: 8 C. The Law of Multiple Comparisons (Dalton's Law) "If two elements can form two or more compounds, and the mass of one element is equal, the ratio of th...
