Quantitative Information from Balanced
Equations
How do we relate the number of atoms or molecules to
the amounts we measure in the laboratory?
Formula weight: the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the
empirical formula of the substance
If the chemical formula is that of a molecule, the formula weight is also called the
molecular weight
For Example:
For an element, the formula weight = atomic weight of the element: Na = 23.0 u.
The molecular weight of glucose (C6H12O6)
= 6(12.0 u) + 12(1.0 u) +6(1.0 u)
= 180.0 u

Percent Composition: One can find the percentage of the mass of a
compound that comes from each of the elements in the compound by
using this equation:
(number of atoms)(atomic weight)
% Element = x 100
(FW of the compound)
(2)(12.011 amu)
For the molecule ethane, C2H6 %C =
(30.070 amu)
24.022 amu
= x 100
30.070 amu
= 79.887%

Let’s calculate the mass of CO2 produced when 100 g of C4H10 is burned
Examples:
2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)
Examples:
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)

Electrolytes & Non-electrolytes
• Since 0.0500 M Pb(NO3)2 contains 0.0500 M Pb2+ ions, we can calculate the moles of Pb2+ ions in 1.25 L
of this solution as follows:
• 1.25 L x 0.0500 mol Pb2+/ 1 L = 0.0625 mol Pb2+
• The 0.0250 M Na2SO4 solution contains 0.0250 M SO42- ions, and the number of moles of SO42- ions in
2.00 L of this solution is:
• 2.00 L x 0.0250 mol SO42-/ 1 L = 0.0500 mol SO42-
• Because Pb2+ and SO42- react in a 1:1 ratio, the amount of SO42- will be limiting ( 0.0500 mol SO42- is less
than 0.0625 mol Pb2+).
• Since the Pb2+ ions are present in excess, only 0.0500 mol of PbSO4 (s) will be formed.
• The mass of PbSO4 formed can be calculated using the molar mass of PbSO4 (303.3 g/mol).
• 0.0500 mol PbSO4 x 303.0 g PbSO4/ 1 mol PbSO4 = 15.2 g PbSO4

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: electrons are transferred from one
reactant to another.
2. For monatomic ion, the charge is the same as the oxidation state.
• +2 for Fe in Fe2+, -1 for Cl in Cl-
4. O.N. of fluorine is always -1. O.N. of Cl and Br is almost always -1 unless bonded to a
more electronegative atom.
6. For species containing multiple atoms, the sum of O.N. equals the charge of the
species
• For H2O, the sum of O.N. (2x1-2=0) is 0 because H2O has no net charge.
• For NH4+, the sum of O.N. is +1 because the molecular ion has +1 charge

Examples
1. What is the O.N. of Fe in FeCl3?
Let x be the O.N. of Fe
x+3(-1)=0
x=+3
x=O.N. of Fe = +3
2. What is the O.N. of Cr in Cr2O72-?
Let x be the O.N. of Cr
2x+7(-2)=-2
2x=12
x=O.N. of Cr = +6
3. What is the O.N. of Cl in OCl-?
-2 + O.N. of Cl = -1
O.N. of Cl = +1
• Elements higher

series are more
reactive.
• They are more
likely to exist as
ions.
