Solution Stoichiometry tutorial: How to use Molarity + problems explained | Crash Chemistry Academy

A tutorial on aqueous solutions and molarity, and then a detailed explanation of how to set up calculations for five example problems of solution stoichiometry involving molarity -- how to use molarity in stoichiometric conversions. Also includes problems using density and mass conversions!

CC Academy videos are crash course tutorials for step by step Chemistry help on your chemistry homework, problems, and experiments.

—More on Stoichiometry | Wikipedia—
"Stoichiometry...is the calculation of relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Stoichiometry is founded on the law of conservation of mass where the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products leading to the insight that the relations among quantities of reactants and products typically form a ratio of positive integers. This means that if the amounts of the separate reactants are known, then the amount of the product can be calculated. Conversely, if one reactant has a known quantity and the quantity of product can be empirically determined, then the amount of the other reactants can also be calculated....

Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. Stoichiometry measures these quantitative relationships, and is used to determine the amount of products/reactants that are produced/needed in a given reaction. Describing the quantitative relationships among substances as they participate in chemical reactions is known as reaction stoichiometry. In the example above, reaction stoichiometry measures the relationship between the methane and oxygen as they react to form carbon dioxide and water.

Because of the well known relationship of moles to atomic weights, the ratios that are arrived at by stoichiometry can be used to determine quantities by weight in a reaction described by a balanced equation. This is called composition stoichiometry.
Gas stoichiometry deals with reactions involving gases, where the gases are at a known temperature, pressure, and volume and can be assumed to be ideal gases. For gases, the volume ratio is ideally the same by the ideal gas law, but the mass ratio of a single reaction has to be calculated from the molecular masses of the reactants and products. In practice, due to the existence of isotopes, molar masses are used instead when calculating the mass ratio."

You just saved me from completely failing a chemistry final. I wish you the best in life sir, and may god shine upon you.

[davidemil]

Excellent job teaching this material. Im not sure what you qualifications are but you definitely taught it much better in my opinion than my college professor.

[geekiana]

I dont think you understand how helpful this was for me

[Keetz]

I have been flying through chemistry my whole year and this is the one thing that stumps me. I saw this video and I have been saved! Thank you so much!!

[soularsystem]

You made that so easy to understand! I think I learn more on YouTube than I do in class. Thank you!

[sbahlekhuzwayo]

I love the way you explaining chemistry, you've made a clear picture to me thank you very much, i really appreciate your help .

[ChristyHaerimWon]

This is the best solution stoic video! Thank you

[timjohnson]

This was very helpful. I have a test tomorrow and this has made me feel much more confident. Now if only you can teach me EVERYTHING about thermodynamics, at least when it comes to chemistry **pulling my hair out** haha

[MelvinMakilan]

sir i just want to thank you for saving my life and also for saving my career (soon) in gods plan. I am currently taking a chemical engineering degree and guess what, your videos are so much fun to learn and i learned so many things about chemistry. I hope u're in good shape and may the lord God bless you sir, thank you su much! - love from philippines!

[aracelias.]

This is an excellent extension of stoichiometry. You saved my stoich test.

[Forthewin]

Thank you so much!!! The fact that you tied this in with Biology really compelled me to actually like it!

[MyKrabi]

You explain it SO WELL - thank you! It just clicked and I was so stressed about chapter 12!

[safirev]

Thank you, I have been struggling to understand the concept of stoich and somehow made it this far, in this video, you made it clear so thanks : )

[samik]

You deserve all the goodness in the world. bless ur soul. thank you

[akimbou]

The problem was that my instructor havent done a great job explaining that we can use M as a relationship with L as a conversion factor! so thank you for making it clear!!

[Magiharun]

you made it easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[krishnaswamy]

AWESOME TEACHER 🏆🏆 You make the difficult concept so easy. Please could you make a video on finding the ph without using the calculator. The exam I am preparing for does not allow calculators. 🙏🙏

[alip]

So helpful! I even went to tutoring @ my college and didn't help as much as this video. Thank you!

Hi, Wonderful explanation. Can you tell me how do you decide which chemical from the equation will become A and which one will become B while using the formula bridge. Is it that given is A and wanted is B?
