A Study On The Stoichiometry

Decent Essays

To define Stoichiometry, it is “the calculation of the quantities of chemical elements or compounds involved in chemical reactions.” Excess Reagent and Limiting Reagent are key terminology that will be crucial to understand for this experiment. Excess Reagent are “reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished” Limiting Reagent is “the reagent that is completely used up or reacted because its quantity limit the amount of products formed.”
There are two types of filtration processes. One of them being gravimetric filtration and the other being vacuum filtration. Gravimetric Filtration is the type of filtration used to “remove solid impurities from an organic liquid.” This type of filtration can be performed by using a filter paper to remove solid impurities by folding the filter paper into a shape of a cone in half, and in half again. Please refer to Figure 1 as a visual reference.
Figure 1: How to Fold a Filter Paper Into a Cone Place the filter paper in an Buchner flask. As support, pour a few millimeters of water around the cone-shaped filter paper. At this state, pour in the solution into the filter. Another type of filtration technique is called Vacuum Filtration. The purpose for this method is to collect a desired product from a mixture. To perform a vacuum filtration, the Buchner flask must be securely clamped to a ring stand. After, a Buchner funnel must be placed over the flask. Add a filter paper to the funnel and place a few drops of solvent to hold
