In this introduction lecture I define stoichiometry and explain what types of chemical calculations fall into this category and which types don't.
In this lecture I review a very powerful mathematical procedure used for doing stoichiometric calculations.
In this lecture I review the mole concept and how it it applies to chemical formulas and equations.
In this lecture the mole-mole conversion procedure is explained as it applies to chemical formulas.
In this lecture the mole-mole conversion procedure is explained as it applies to chemical reactions.
In this lecture the Mass-Mass Conversion Procedure is applied to Chemical Formulas
In this lecture the Mass-Mass Conversion Procedure is applied to Chemical Reactions,
In this lecture theoretical, actual and percent yield are defined.
In this lecture two methods for determining limiting reactant are shown.
In this lecture stoichiometric calculations are done when a reactant and/or product is measured as a volume rather than weighed.
In this lecture a solution is defined, components and attributes given.
In this lecture the concentration unit molarity is defined and explained why it is used in stoichiometric calculations of solutions.
In this lecture the procedure for doing stoichiometric calculations for solutions is given.
In this lecture the stoichiometric calculation for determining the molarity of an acid or base using a titration is explained.
In this lecture Avogadro's Law is explained as it applies to stoichiometric calculations of gases.
In this lecture Avogadro's Law is applied when doing stoichiometric calculations of gases at standard temperature and pressure.
In this lecture stoichiometric calculations for gases are explained using the Ideal Gas Law Equation.
In this lecture stoichiometric calculations are explained when reactants and/or products exist in different states of matter.
In this lecture a quantitative method of analysis is described and how stoichiometric calculations play a role with this method.
In this lecture stoichiometry is applied to the calculations of thermodynamic properties for chemical reactions.
In this lecture stoichiometry used to determine the empirical formula of a compound.
In this lecture an alternate method is shown for determining the empirical formula of a compound.
This course covers all applications of stoichiometry that are covered in high school and college General Chemistry courses. In General Chemistry courses, stoichiometry is introduced in one chapter which will cover the basics, but there will be applications later in the course when studying solutions and gases. This course puts all types of stoichiometric calculations in one place. As needed, prerequisite topics are reviewed, then each new topic is explained in detail, terms are defined and examples are done to show how the theory is applied in practice.
As was the case when I was teaching at the university, students have access to ample supplemental material, all of which will be in the Resource Folders. In addition to the 5+ hours of lectures, I have included a downloadable audio mp3 file of each lecture. For all but one lecture, I’ve included a Practice Assignment where you can test your understanding of the material. Also included is a detailed answer key for each Practice Assignment. Any graphs, figures or tables presented in the lectures are also available as downloadable files.
This course assumes that you have some knowledge or experience with chemistry though it is taught at a beginner's level. This course is ideal for anyone who is taking General Chemistry but needs extra help with stoichiometry.
Since chemistry is a quantitative science, a working knowledge of high school algebra is needed. If your math skills are weak, this course will show you what types of math calculations are needed and you can hone those skills prior to your taking the course. Lecture 2 presents a detailed review of dimensional analysis which is used throughout this course.
