Mole relationship in balanced equations

Determine the number of moles of N O needed to react completely
2
4
with 3.62 moles of N H for the reaction
2 4
2 N H + N O 3 N + 4 H O
2 4 2 4 2 2

From the balanced equation:

2 moles N2H4 is equivalent to 1 mole N2O4

2 moles N2H4 1 mole N2O4

3.62 moles X moles

X= (3.62x1)/2 = 1.81 moles N2O4

Chemical Reactions

• Chemical reactions happen all around you & even inside your body!

• Chemical reactions are the changes that occur when chemicals interact with
each other to form new and entirely different substances.

• Definition: a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are
converted to one or more different substances, the products.
Example
H gas and O gas H 2O liquid
2 2

Parts of A Chemical Reaction
➢ Reactants ➢ Products:

• the substances that undergo • the new substances formed

change • What you end up with

• What you start with

Reactants change to Products

Ex: Carbon + Oxygen change to Carbon dioxide
