Document Summary

Stoichiometry - the study of quantities of materials consumed and produced in chemical reactions. Atoms are so small, it is difficult to discuss how much they weigh in grams. Use atomic mass units. an atomic mass unit (amu) is one twelth the mass of a carbon-12 atom. The decimal numbers on the table are atomic masses in amu. Elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes. A substance"s molar mass (molecular weight) is the mass in grams of one mole of the compound. [n = integer] molecular formula = c6h6 = (ch)6 empirical formula = ch. Empirical formula determination: base calculation on 100 grams of compound (change percents into # of grams), determine moles of each element, divide each value of moles by the smallest of the mole. If result is not in whole numbers, multiply each number by an integer to obtain all whole numbers.
