CHEMISTRY: A Review of Molarity ( M ), Balanced Chemical Reactions, Limiting Reagents, and Quantitative Analysis

Balanced chemical reactions ( RXN ) represent reactions in which perfect ratios of reactants and products react. Let’s consider a photosynthetic RXN where glucose reacts with molecular oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and energy: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy In the subatomic world, a single molecule of glucose reacts withContinue reading “CHEMISTRY: A Review of Molarity ( M ), Balanced Chemical Reactions, Limiting Reagents, and Quantitative Analysis”

STOICHIOMETRY: Balancing Chemical Reactions

Stoichiometry is founded upon the law of the conservation of mass. A chemical reaction’s ( RXN ) reactants and products must be balanced in such a way that a rearrangement of atoms ( or molecules ) occurs, but the total mass of atoms involved in the RXN is conserved. Let’s begin with an examination ofContinue reading “STOICHIOMETRY: Balancing Chemical Reactions”
