Stoichiometry Part II

CHARLIE SHEEN WELCOMES YOU WITH A WITTY REMARK.

-insert funny remark countering greeting remark-

Stoichiometry

Pronounce stoichiometry as “stoy-kee-ah-met-tree,” if you want to sound like you know what you are talking about, or “stoyk:,” if you want to sound like a real geek.

Stoichiometry calculations involve particles, moles and mass. Yes, all readers. The lovely mole on your nose is back.

NOW LET US BEGIN OUR JOURNEY INTO STOYK:

Write a balanced equation

• you will need it for your mole ratio
• if you do not have a balanced equation you will be WRONG, and you don't want to be wrong

Create a 'road map'

• stating where you are starting and where you want to go
• many stoyk problems will follow this pattern:

grams(x) <--> moles(x) <--> moles(y) <--> grams(y)

• you can start anywhere along this map

Do the Calculations

• time to figure out the solution to your problem!

I believe an example is in order!

BAM, example presented:

I believe a different method of learning is in order as well!

BAM! interactive tutorial presented:

with lots and lots of clicking!

Are you feeling the stoyk? No? Re-read this post! and don't come back until you feel geeky enough to say stoyk.
