Students in higher courses may find it a helpful revision and enhance their clarity. The book completely discusses the key topics in basic stoichiometry, including the \u003ci\u003emole concep\u003c\/i\u003et, \u003ci\u003ereacting quantities\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eempirical\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003emolecular formulas\u003c\/i\u003e. It begins with the basic concepts and formulas required to covert various quantities to moles or amount of substance. This particularly useful to a beginner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter 2 describes how to calculate reacting reacting quantities and therefore provides a general step-by-step framework or approach by which to solve these problems. The chapter also describes and applies the concept of a limiting reagent. Two methods of determining a limiting reagent are explained and illustrated. The concept of limiting reagent is extended to reacting volumes of gases with a short-cut method. A short-cut method for solving reacting quantities involving masses and volumes of gases is also given. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter 3 describes the calculations involved in the practical determination of molecular and empirical formulas. A clear meaning of percentage composition of mass is provided and used to solve problems in a step-by-step manner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn chapter 4 we discuss percentage yield and purity. A number of examples are given to illustrate how formulas of yield and purity are used in various circumstances. A student will find these examples helpful in relating different formulas for percentage purity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe last chapter introduces a graphical method for reacting quantities. The method may provide a new way of looking at chemical reactions. Examples are given to illustrate the method including how it can be used to determine limiting reagents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is hoped that the book will provide all the necessary knowledge and skills to students studying an introductory chemistry course. Teachers may also find this book a good resource for their lessons in stoichiometry.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50390519382290,"sku":"9798352316160","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_0bcaeb3a-d99e-486c-907c-77817506c860.jpg?v=1728950257","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/calculating-in-chemistry-introductory-stoichiometry-9798352316160","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
