Basically stoichiometry is the measurement of elements, that is, the study of chemical quantities consumed or produced in a chemical reaction. When we are performing it we are using a special chemical counting unit: the mole, a unit of measurement, and one mole of a substance contains 6.022 * 10^23 particles. Now mole ratio is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. <span>If we are looking for the mole ratio between two substances, we need to look at the balanced equations</span> for the coefficients in front of the substances you are interested in.
This should be your guiding mantra for doing stoichiometry problems!

Determine the mass of 5.2 x 10 power of 21 molecules of propanol C3H7OH(l), on grams.

Alja [10]

$n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) = N(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) / N_A\\ \phantom{n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH})} = 5.2 \times 10^{21} / (6.02 \times 10^{23})\\ \phantom{n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH})} = 8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol}$

where $N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23}\; \text{mol}^{-1}$ the Avogadro's constant that relates the number of particles to their number, in the unit moles $\text{mol}$ .

The molar mass of propanol- mass per mole propanol- can be directly deduced from its molecular formula with reference to a modern periodic table.

$M(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) = \underbrace{3 \times 12.01}_{\text{carbon}} + \underbrace{8 \times 1.008}_{\text{hydrogen}} + \underbrace{1\times 16.00}_{\text{oxygen}} = 60.09 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$

$8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol}$ of propanol molecules would thus have a mass of $8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} \times 60.09 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} = 0.52 \; \text{g}$

Identify the correct statements associated with titration.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Explanation:

because titration by definition, is used to determine the concentration of one reactant in an aqueous solution, it requires a burette to accurately measure the volume of a solution and endpoints in acid-base titration can be determined by a colour indicator or a pH meter
