Q & A
What is the meaning of the term 'Stoichiometry'?
-Stoichiometry refers to the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The term comes from 'stoichio' meaning element and 'metri' meaning measurement.
Why is it important to balance chemical equations before performing stoichiometric calculations?
-Balancing chemical equations is crucial because it ensures that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation, allowing for accurate stoichiometric calculations.
What are the four basic patterns of stoichiometry problems mentioned in the script?
-The four basic patterns of stoichiometry problems are mole to mole, mole to mass, mass to mole, and mass to mass.
What is the difference between ideal stoichiometry and limiting reactant stoichiometry?
-Ideal stoichiometry assumes that there is an unlimited supply of reactants and no loss, resulting in 100% yield. Limiting reactant stoichiometry, on the other hand, takes into account that one of the reactants may run out before the reaction is complete, limiting the amount of product formed.
How many significant figures should be used when reporting the number of moles of calcium in the average human body, according to the script?
-The script suggests using four significant figures when reporting the number of moles of calcium in the average human body.
What is the concept of 'mole ratios' in stoichiometry?
-Mole ratios in stoichiometry refer to the relationships between the amounts of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation, allowing for the conversion between different quantities of substances involved in a reaction.
What is the correct name for the substance 'CoCl2.6H2O' as discussed in the script?
-The correct name for 'CoCl2.6H2O' is Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, indicating a compound with Cobalt in the +2 oxidation state and six water molecules of hydration.
What is the philosophy of Stoicism, and how does it relate to the concept of stoichiometry?
-The philosophy of Stoicism is an ancient school of philosophy that promotes the idea of accepting whatever happens in life. In the script, it is used as a metaphor to emphasize the importance of keeping things simple and basic in stoichiometry, similar to the stoic approach to life.
How does the script compare stoichiometry to baking a cake?
-The script compares stoichiometry to baking a cake by explaining that just as you need specific amounts of ingredients to bake a cake, you need specific ratios of reactants to produce a certain amount of products in a chemical reaction.
What is the purpose of the 'five steps to surviving chemistry' methodology mentioned in the script?
-The 'five steps to surviving chemistry' methodology is a systematic approach to solving stoichiometry problems. It involves starting with the given information, using dimensional analysis to set up conversion factors, repeating the process as needed for multiple conversions, performing the math, and reporting the answer with the correct units.

Transcripts
if you have already decided that you
will never understand Stoichiometry
equations then you are already toast
there is no hope for you because you
already made up your mind but trust me
it is not that hard if a doofus like me
can understand it then you can too ideal
Stoichiometry only has four shapes or
patterns of problems multiple mess to
mole or Mass to mass if you can only
grasp these four types of Stoichiometry
problems you will be in a very good
shape if it ends in metri it means what
measurement and think of Stoichiometry
like baking please watch the videos in
this chemistry quick review playlist in
order let's start by answering the
question of last video what's the
correct name of this substance
cocl2.6820 please pause and try to
answer this yourself remember uppercase
C uppercase o is carbon monoxide however
uppercase C lowercase o is Cobalt Cobalt
followed by chlorine is Cobalt
chloride not chlorine because that's a
compound but do we have more than one
type of cobalt of course we have Cobalt
Roman numeral two and Cobalt Roman
numeral three Cobalt 2 is divalent but
couple III is trivalent and since
chlorine is monovalent the one is here
and not written Cobalt here is divalent
because I see two here so this is Cobalt
Roman numeral two chloride am I done yet
no I have six Waters after a DOT so it's
a hydrate how many water molecules six
so this is
hexahydrate so the final answer is
Cobalt Roman numeral two chloride
hexahydrate hydrates and anhydrous
crystals were discussed in the last
video with their problems and solutions
today it's time to talk about
Stoichiometry stoichio means element
which is the most basic form of matter
and metri means measurement have you
ever heard of the philosophy of stoicism
which is the exact opposite of
epicureanism if so what does it remind
you of oh something basic Elemental keep
it simple who knows if anything is good
or bad
epicureanism however is the exact
opposite let us eat and drink because
tomorrow we shall die only medicosis can
make General chemistry so profound as
the famous late historian will Durant
once said quote a nation is born stoic
and dies a picurion unquote
Stoichiometry is just like baking if in
order to make one cake I need one pound
of flour one pound of sugar and four
eggs I will make one cake but what if I
have only half a pound of flour half a
pound of sugar and two eggs can I make
an entire cake no can I make half a cake
yes this is all about psychiometry
measuring the element measuring the
ingredients to get a certain product but
what if I have double the amount of
flour double the sugar double the eggs
you can make two cakes
Stoichiometry is the exact same concept
nothing more nothing less so if you want
to master the subject of Stoichiometry
you need to acquire just five skills
that's it first how to balance the
chemical equation and we talked about
this before in this chemistry quick
review playlist how to figure out this
stoichiometric coefficients and you can
only do this after balancing the
chemical equation next to figure out
mole ratios after this is to understand
the difference between ideals to
econometry and limiting reactant
stoichiometry in today's video we'll
talk about ideal Stoichiometry and in
the following video we'll talk about
limiting reactants to echiometry after
that the subsequent video will be about
solving as many Stoichiometry problems
as humanly possible if you just watch
these three videos I promise you you
will cruise through Stoichiometry like a
sharp knife through warm butter in ideal
Stoichiometry today's topic will learn
four patterns of problems multiple
conversions just one step the easiest
type of Stoichiometry problems if you
get one of these on your exam you should
leave the exam room go outside dance for
a while and then come back to solve the
problem that's how good they are they
are so simple mold to mass and mass to
mold take two steps to answer mess to
mass that's the boogeyman you need to
leave the exam room go outside start to
weep cry cuss sprinkle some dust
particles on your forehead as they did
in the good old days and then come back
to try to answer these questions just
four patterns of problems even a child
can recognize four different patterns oh
that's a puppy that's a horse that's an
elephant that's a giraffe but first
things first if your equation is not
balanced there is no hope for you get
guaranteed to answer the question
incorrectly so the first skill is to
balance the chemical equation please
pause and try to balance this thing
let's do it start with the Silicon okay
how many silicones do we have here just
one and on the other side also one so
we're good let's look at the next one
chlorine I have four chlorine atoms here
and just one chlorine atom here okey
dokey let's multiply this by 4 and see
how many chlorine here I have four atoms
and four atoms so we're good let's look
at hydrogen here I have two hydrogen
atoms but here I have two plus four is
six oh so how can I make it balance
let's multiply this by three so here I
have six hydrogen atoms and two plus
four is six hydrogen atoms so hydrogen
is good let's look at oxygen I have
three oxygen atoms here and three oxygen
atoms here voila my chemical equation is
balanced balancing the chemical equation
will enable me to get the coefficients
right so after balancing this equation
can you tell me what are the
stoichiometric coefficients in this
lovely balanced chemical equation please
pause and try to answer this yourself
okay so it's very easy basically the
coefficients are these numbers okie doke
so here I have one which is not written
three and then I have one I have four so
the stoichiometric coefficients in the
equation are one three one and four how
about this question which we have
reviewed before what are these two
geometric coefficients in the
aforementioned equation when it's
balanced so let's go pause and try to
answer this yourself let's balance the
equation how many Silvers here just one
how about here two so if I try to
multiply this side by two I'll have two
iodits but I have three iodines here oh
two versus three what do you do well
whenever in doubt you place a 6 here why
six iodines amazing and and to make this
6 you multiply this by 2. let's see if
the iron is balanced I have two iron
atoms here and two iron atoms here
amazing iodine six iodines and six
iodines Silver Six Silvers and two
Silvers how about multiplying this by
three now I have six solvers and six
solvers Mr carbon I have three carbons
here and on the other side I have three
carbons there perfect oxygen three times
three is nine oxygen atoms and three
times three is nine oxygen atoms this is
my balanced chemical equation now what
are these stoichiometric coefficients
six one two and three so the correct
answer here is e as an equation after
mastering the first two skills let's
talk about skill number three mole
ratios take a look at this wonderful
equation that we have just balanced we
have reactants on the side and product
on the other side and the arrow means
yields the reactants react together to
yield the products let's suppose that
this is a this is B we'll call this C
and this one is d i can get any ratio I
want I can get a to B which means 6
moles of AGI to one mole of fe2 CO3 all
three how about a to c sure put the six
moles of AGI on the numerator and the
two moles of fei3 and the denominator
how about a to d we can do this as well
6 moles to three moles how about B to C
similarly we can do this you can do any
race you want so we have six possible
ratios and these ratios will be
exploited by your professor in your exam
next is to understand the difference
between ideal Stoichiometry and limiting
reactants to a geometry ideal means
ideal conditions in la la land that does
not really exist it assumes that we have
every anything in the perfect most
abundant proportions we will not run out
of any ingredients I.E reactants no loss
of reactants and 100 percent yield for
products everything is hunky-dory
however in reality most reactions are
limiting reactants Stoichiometry
assuming more realistic conditions not
this La La Land only some reactant
molecules go through the chemical
reaction and yield not 100 of the
product but we'll assume most of the
products we did not start with enough
ingredients we ran out of one of those
reactants first which limits the amount
of the products formed example I expect
to make one cake so I want one pound of
flour one pound of sugar okay I have
those let's look in my refrigerator I
did not have four eggs I only had two
eggs oh that's a limiting reactant with
this in mind do you think I'll be able
to make an entire cake no you will not
make 100 end of the cake because your
reaction was limited by one reactant now
let's get real butyric acid also known
as betanoic acid
c4h8o2 is aerobically metabolized we'll
assume that carbon dioxide and water are
the only products please write down the
balanced chemical equation and the
stoichiometric coefficients of each
agent please pause and try to solve this
yourself remember from biochemistry what
does aerobic metabolism mean if you've
watched my biochemistry playlist or my
biology playlist you know that aerobic
metabolism meaning metabolize something
in the presence of oxygen to yield what
carbon dioxide and water this metabolism
happens every day in your body but we do
not start with butyric acid instead with
salt with glucose most of the time and
your cells will release carbon dioxide
which you exhale and water in many forms
such as water vapor you will exhale this
as well and and just good old water
which you will urinate and or sweat Etc
so this is my equation before balancing
let's balance the equation okie dokie it
becomes like this four carbons on this
side four carbons on the side eight
hydrogens on the side four times two is
eight hydrogens on the side two oxons
here and ten axons here is twelve and I
have four times two is eight oxygens and
four oxygens also 12. so I just balance
the equation what are these two
geometric coefficients of each agent I
have one I have five I have four and
four using the same equation that you
just balanced in an ideal reaction I.E
ideal Stoichiometry assuming everything
is hunky dory and we're not running out
of anything a 4.25 moles of oxygen react
how many moles of carbon dioxide could
be formed please pause and try to answer
this yourself the reason you're
struggling with Stoichiometry is because
because we haven't organized your
thoughts there are only four
possibilities they can ask you mall to
mall or mall to mass or mass to mole or
Mass to mass multiple is just one step
mol to mass and mass to mole two steps
each Mass to mass is the horrible one
three steps regardless of the
methodology regardless of the pattern we
can follow these steps thank you again
the great teacher Julie C jilbert and
her wonderful book five steps to
surviving chemistry step number one
start with the given info and then
dimensional analysis time you set up a
conversion factor ratio whatever you're
starting from goes in the denominator
whatever you're aiming at whatever
you're converting to goes in the
numerator and then you cancel top bottom
Etc repeat step number two as many times
as needed sometimes we repeat it once
more to mole conversions sometimes we
repeat it twice more to mass or mass to
mole and sometimes we do the same thing
think three times mass to mass problems
do the math cancel top and bottom and
then give me your numerical value and
don't forget the measuring unit we will
use these steps to answer and solve this
problem let's go 4.5 moles of oxygen
react then how many moles of carbon
dioxide could be formed now do you think
this is mole to mole mole to mass mass
to mole or Mass to mass kind of problem
let's see moles of oxygen and moles of
carbon dioxide this means mole to mole
conversion and if it's mole to mole
problem we only need one step woohoo
this is easy so let's follow the
methodology step number one you start
with the given okay what's the given
4.25 moles of oxygen okie dokie and then
what you start to aim at carbon dioxide
so let me set up a dimensional analysis
conversion factor ratio let me put mold
of oxygen downstairs so that I can
cancel this with this I know know that
by looking at this balanced equation
that five moles of oxygen here will
yield four moles of carbon dioxide
absolutely so what now I can cancel this
with this and my end result will be
moles of carbon dioxide which is what
they want so you just multiply 4.25
times 4 divided by 5. so the answer will
be 3.4 moles of carbon dioxide for the
excellent student we'll look here 4.25
how many significant figures three so
let's add a zero to make our answer in
three significant figures I converted
mole into mole Bingo and here's the same
answer in color first you need to
balance the equation next you need to
recognize that this is mole to moles to
a geometry problem which means just one
step and then dimensional analysis I
start with the given which is the number
of moles of oxygen and then set up a
conversion factor moles of oxygen
downstairs and moles of carbon dioxide
upstairs because the answer has to be in
moles of carbon dioxide you can salt up
with bottom you do the math 3.4 at the
zero moles of carbon dioxide Bingo
that's the easiest Stoichiometry problem
let's take it up a notch same equation
here if five moles of oxygen react how
many moles of carbon dioxide should be
formed please pause and try to answer
this yourself are you done let me show
you how most of you answer this you said
let's start with the given which is 5
moles of oxygen and then I multiply this
by I have to put moles of oxygen
downstairs and I know that 5 moles of
oxygen will give me four moles of carbon
dioxide and then you cancel molds of
oxygen with moles of oxygen the five
with the five and your end result is
four moles of carbon dioxide this is
correct however you could have saved a
lot of time by recognizing that this 5
moles of oxygen is already written here
and since my equation is balanced the
answer has to be this 4 moles of carbon
dioxide Bingo if your equation is
balanced the 5 moles of oxygen will
react with this doofus to give you four
moles of carbon dioxide voila chemistry
makes so much sense once you understand
what the flip you're talking about
instead of just memorizing like a
freaking donkey forgive my language just
get excited here is another question a
4.25 moles of oxygen react how many
grams of carbon dioxide could be formed
using the same equation please pause
first order of business bounce the
equation it is balanced second order of
business we need to recognize that this
type of problem is Mole 2 grams it's
small to mass which means two steps okay
let's go to town I start with the given
4.25 moles of oxygen and then I multiply
this by I have to put moles of oxygen
downstairs and I know that 5 moles of
oxygen will yield 4 moles of carbon
dioxide which is right here and then
what I can cancel moles of oxygen with
moles of oxygen but this will give me
the answer in moles of carbon dioxide do
I need the answer in moles of carbon
dioxide no I need the mass of carbon
dioxide grams easy can you convert moles
to grams sure put moles of carbon
dioxide here downstairs and look at your
periodic table one mole of carbon
dioxide has one carbon atom and two
oxygen atoms one carbon atom has 12 AMU
or 12 grams and two oxygen atoms means
two multiplied by 16. then I cancel
moles of carbon dioxide with moles of
carbon dioxide the rest is math history
which will give me the answer in grams
the answer is
149.6 grams of carbon dioxide is this
what they wanted yes but an excellent
student will take a look at this number
three significant figures oh here I have
four well let's make them three how do I
do this well you just take care of the
six so instead of 149 do not make it 149
you make it 150 grams of carbon dioxide
and that's your final answer this is how
to solve mold to mass Stoichiometry
problems same answer in colors I
recognize that this is mole to mass
after balancing the equation I'm ready
to go 4.25 moles of oxygen upstairs put
moles of oxygen downstairs to cancel one
another and then five moles of oxygen
will give me four moles of carbon
dioxide but I'm not done yet because I
want my answer in grams not moles I know
that one mole of carbon dioxide will
contain 1 times 12 which is 12 plus 32
which means 44 grams of carbon dioxide
then I can cancel moles of oxygen with
moles of oxygen and moles of carbon
dioxide with moles of carbon dioxide and
the result will be in grams of carbon
dioxide Bingo let's take it up a notch
here is the same equation but a
different question 50.5 grams of oxygen
react how many moles of water could be
formed please pause and try to solve
this yourself let's talk about this is
my equation balanced yet they want grams
to moles oh so Mass to moles also two
steps now I'm ready let's go to town
50.5 grams of oxygen because I start
with what I have then I put grams of
oxygen downstairs in order to cancel
grams of oxygen with grams of oxygen I
know that one mole of oxygen contains
look at your periodic table two Oxygen
16 and 16. so 32 grams of oxygen okay
how can I cancel moles of oxygen because
if I just go with this I'll get the
answer in moles of oxygen but they want
moles of water easy you put moles of
oxygen here downstairs and you look at
the equation I see here that 5 moles O2
will give me four moles of water amazing
then you cancel moles of oxygen with
moles of oxygen and the end result will
be in moles of water just do the math
and the math will give you
1.26 moles of water is this what they
wanted yes it is three significant
figures three significant figures we're
done the answer in color first balance
the equation second recognize that this
is Mass to mole conversion which means
it's just two steps let's go you start
with what you have grams of oxygen let's
put grams of oxygen downstairs to cancel
one mole of oxygen has 32 grams of
oxygen and then you put the moles of
oxygen downstairs look at the equation
five moles of oxygen will give me four
moles of water cancel cancel cancel and
you get 1.26 moles of water yet another
question same equation different
question if 50.5 grams of oxygen react
how many grams of water could be formed
please pause and try to answer this
first my equation is balanced next grams
to grams so this is Mass to mass
Stoichiometry problem meaning it will
take me three steps to complete oopsie
we can do this folks 50.5 grams O2 I
start with what I have I need to cancel
with grams O2 I know that one mole of
oxygen from the periodic table contains
16 plus 16 which means 32 grams of
oxygen now I can cancel grams of oxygen
with grams of oxygen now what do I need
the answer in moles of oxygen no we
still have two steps left what should I
do next I can cancel moles of oxygen
with moles of oxygen so I put moles O2
here I know from the equation that 5
moles of oxygen will give me four moles
of water so I put the four moles of
water right here cancel the moles of
oxygen with moles of oxygen do I need my
answer in moles of water no I need in
grams of water oh so moles to grams I
can put moles of water down stairs so
that I can cancel it with moles of water
upstairs I know that one mole of water
contains two hydrogens so two times one
gram from the periodic table plus one
oxygen which means one times sixteen two
multiplied by one is two plus sixteen is
eighteen grams of water and then
everything is canceled you just multiply
this number by four you multiply this by
18 over 32 times 5 and we get the answer
of
22.725 grams of water and they want the
answer in grams of water an excellent
student will take a look here 50.5 three
significant figures so I need only three
significant figures which means
22.7 grams of water that's the answer
same answer in color look at the
equation is it balanced yes then
recognize the pattern oh this is Mass to
Mass to a geometry problem which means
three steps you start with what you have
and then I know that grams of oxygen can
be put downstairs one mole of oxygen has
32 grams of oxygen then I can cancel
this with this one mole of oxygen has to
cancel with moles of oxygen I know that
5 moles of oxygen will yield four moles
of water then I can cancel four moles of
water with mole of water how do I do
this I know that one mole of water
contains a 18 grams of water then you
cancel grams of oxygen with grams of
oxygen mole of oxygen mole of oxygen
mole of water mold of water your end
result will be in grams of water and
this is how to perform the most
difficult Stoichiometry question which
is Mass to mass Stoichiometry problem
mold to mole problems just one step mol
to mass or mass to mole two steps each
but Mass to mass is three steps in this
video we learned how to balance the
chemical equation how to figure out the
coefficient of Stoichiometry based on
the balanced chemical equation how to
figure out the mold ratio for example by
relating oxygen from the reactants with
water from the products you can also
relate the two reactants together or two
of the products together then we learned
that in real life most reactions are
limiting reactants Stoichiometry but
today's problem were about ideal
Stoichiometry which means we never ran
out of anything in the next video I'll
show you limiting reactants
Stoichiometry where you will run out of
one of the reactants first and you will
not yield 100 of the products can you
answer the following question if the
average human body contains 25.00 moles
of calcium question one what's the
