Chapter 4: Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

  • balance chemical equations
  • write molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equation
  • identify strong and weak electrolytes and learn how ionic and molecular substances dissolve
  • define three common types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction)
  • perform stoichiometric calculations involving mass, moles, and solution molarity using balanced chemical equations
  • explain the concepts of limiting reactants/reagents and theoretical yield
  • calculate the theoretical and percent yield for a reaction
  • describe the fundamental aspects of titrations and perform stoichiometric calculations using typical titration data
