STOICHIOMETRY OF REACTION
A. Objectives
1. Determine coefficient reaction based on precipitation formed.
2. Determine stoichiometry of acid-base reaction.
B. Basic Theory
A chemical reaction is a process in which one set of substances called
reactants is converted to new set of substances called products. In many cases, though,
nothing happens when or substances are mixed together, they retain their original
properties and composition. Just as symbols are used for elements and formulas for
compounds, there is a symbolic or shorthand way of representing a chemical reaction
called chemical equation.
All atoms present in the reactants must be accounted for among the products.
In other words, there must be the same number of each type of atom on the product
side and on the reactant side of the narrow. Making sure that this rule is followed is
called balancing chemical equation. The coefficients in balanced equation tell the
number of substances involved in a reaction. These coefficients also tell the number
of moles of substances in a reaction. For example:
CH4 (g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
The equation tells us that 1 molecule of CH 4 reacts with 2 molecules O2 to produce 1
molecule of CO2 and 2 molecules of H2O. The equation also tells us that 1n mole of
CH4 reacts with 2n moles of O2 to give 1n moles of CO2 and 2n moles of H2O (n =
any value).
In the laboratory, coefficient in chemical reaction can be determined through
experimental data series results. One of simple way to determine coefficient of
reaction is continuous variation method. The basic principle of this method is in a
series of experiments, the total molar amount of reactants is made permanent, while
the molar amount of each changed regularly. Changes that occur as a result of the
reaction between the mixture of reactants (mass, volume, and temperature) is plotted
to the molar of each reactant in a graph, in order to obtain an optimum point.
Optimum point shows coefficient ratio for each reactant.
D. Procedures
1. Stoichiometry of Precipitation Reaction
a. Provide two beakers, take 5 mL NaOH 0,1 M and fill it in beaker 1 and 25
mL CuSO4 0,1 M in beaker 2.
b. Mix two kinds of solution and shake it.
c. let the mixture until precipitation is formed.
d. Measure the height of precipitation using ruler (mm).
e. Do the same way with the different composition of reactants (total volume
still 30 mL) :
• 10 mL NaOH 0,1 M and 20 mL CuSO4 0,1 M
• 15 mL NaOH 0,1 M and 15 mL CuSO4 0,1 M
• 20 mL NaOH 0,1 M and 10 mL CuSO4 0,1 M
• 25 mL NaOH 0,1 M and 5 mL CuSO4 0,1 M
f. Make graph and plotted height of precipitation [Y] VS volume
NaOH/CuSO4[X].
g. Determine optimum point and coefficient of reaction.
