When doing stoichiometry calculations, I’ve noticed some common mistakes that I’ve made and seen in others:
Miscalculating Molar Ratios: Always take a moment to double-check the balanced equation. It’s easy to make a mistake!
Forgetting to Convert Units: Don’t forget to change quantities into moles when you need to. This makes calculations easier.
Ignoring Significant Figures: Remember to round numbers when needed. This is important for being accurate.
Neglecting Limiting Reactants: Spot these early on, or you might think you can create more product than you actually can.
To avoid these problems, practice often and double-check your work. It really helps build your confidence!
