Stoichiometry
Lesson 2
Subject Objectives
compound.
Understand the concept of stoichiometry and be able to:
• write balanced chemical equations including states
• interpret balanced chemical reactions at the particulate and molar
level
Try this problem based on your stock knowledge about this topic.
1. H3PO4, Phosphoric acid, is used in detergents, fertilizers, toothpastes
and flavoring in carbonated beverages. Calculate the percent composition
by mass to two decimal places of H, P and O in this compound.
2. Barium fluoride is a transparent crystal that can be found in nature as the
mineral frankdicksonite. Determine the percent composition of barium fluoride.
Task 2
When you chew a piece of gum, mass is lost as the sugar dissolves.
After the sweetness is gone, only the ‘gum’ remains. Given a piece of gum to
chew, each student will collect data to complete the data table in Model 2.
As a team, propose and describe below an experimental procedure that will
permit you to collect the data needed to determine the percent of sugar in
the gum. Do not proceed with the experiment until your instructor has
approved your procedure.

Key Questions
1. Show the set-up used to determine the percent by mass of sugar in the
chewing gum.
2. What is the percent of sugar in the chewing gum?
3. At the end of this experiment the gum is wet with saliva. How does the
presence of the saliva influence the percentage reported in Question 2?
4. What method could be used to eliminate the error introduced by the
presence of the saliva?
