What are some real life uses of Stoichiometry?
cooking like your almost out of an sugar but you really want to make cookies, so you figure out how much of all the other ingrediants you need compared with the amount of sugar you have Everyday example: stoichiometry of chocolate chip cookies 1.5 cups flour + 2 eggs + 1 tsp vanilla + 1.5 sticks butter + 1 cup sugar + 150 chips 12 cookies Conversions: 48 tsp = 1 cup4 cups = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon12 doz = 1 gros 2 sticks butter = 1 cup EX 1: In a spacecraft, the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts can be removed by its reaction with lithium hydroxide, LiOH, according to the following chemical equation. CO2(g) + 2LiOH(s) Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l) How many moles of lithium hydroxide are required to react with 20 mol of CO2, the average amount exhaled by a person each day?
