Stoichiometry Involving Combustion of Fuels (VCE SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Study of mole ratios of substances in chemical reactions

Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction

Coefficients (numbers in front of chemical formulas)

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

$24.8$ L mol$^{-1}$

$100$ kPa, $25$°C ($298$ K)

Carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) and water ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$)

Carbon monoxide (CO), sometimes carbon (soot), and water

Mole ratios equal volume ratios at constant T and P

Crops absorb $\text{CO}_2$ during growth, offsetting combustion
