Equation Stoichiometry

Equation stoichiometry is the culmination of many skills:

We put all of these skills together to solve mass to mass, mass to liters, and mass to molecules stoichoimetry problems.

Solving Stoichiometry Problems:


In a typical problem we:
  • convert grams, liters, or molecules given in the problem to moles.

  • use the mole ratio to find moles of the desired quantity.

  • convert moles of the desired quantity to grams, liters, or molecules. This is the answer!

Thinking Tools

It is helpful to visualize two mole maps connected by the mole ratio to solve stoichiometry problems:


Two Mole Maps Connected by the Mole Ratio

One way to find the the mole ratio is:

Equation: Mole ratio = coefficient of given quantity / coefficient of desired quantity.

We get the coefficients for the mole ratio from the balanced equation.
