Quick Recap — Multi-step Stoichiometry (Hard)

  • Combustion analysis: moles C from CO2CO_2, moles H from H2OH_2O (2 H per water); ratio \to empirical formula.
  • Molarity from density: M=10×%(w/w)×dmolar massM=\dfrac{10\times\%(w/w)\times d}{\text{molar mass}}.
  • % purity: compare moles of pure substance (from product) to the sample taken.
  • Mixing / limiting-reagent chains: always convert to moles first, find the limiting reagent, then carry moles through to the product.
