The concern about reactant and products which is the two relative quantities take place in
a certain chemical reaction generally found in the field of chemistry. This two quantities matters
accordingly and could be determined as the one that undergo reaction which is the reactant and the
one being created or produced in a certain reaction is the product. The bonds break and reform
during chemical reaction. The reactants and products contain the same atom, but they are distorted
during the reaction, so the reactants and products are different substance.
One of this is the idea of the candle when it burns which is a chemical change in matter,
we're in chemical change occur because of chemical reaction. The reactant of the candle burned
are the fuel (the Candlewick and wax) finding how much of the product being formed namely the
carbon dioxide (CO2(g)) and water vapor. The concept of stoichiometry here will be recognized,
in such balancing chemical reaction. Stoichiometry by definition is the "study of quantitative
relationship or ratios between two or more substances undergoing a physical or chemical change
in a certain chemical reaction. It is also deals with the application of the laws of definite proportion
and of the law of conservation of mass and energy to a chemical activity (Richer J. 1792)". This
will mostly in relation in calculating and finding a certain problem such as: balancing chemical
equation, converting grams to moles, calculating molar mass, calculating mole ratios.
Stoichiometry has the concept of finding the amount of product after the reaction with the
same given values of reactants through calculations. Stoichiometry speaks about calculations of
numbers which is the quantitative measurements of mass relationships.
II. METHODOLOGY
A. Chemicals and Apparatus
The chemicals used in the experiment are as follows: baking soda NaHCO3 (sodium
bicarbonate) and 6 N of hydrochloric acid and distilled water. The apparatus include: alcohol lamp, Commented [JA1]: Distilled water was used in rinsing
right? You should include it.
evaporating dish, watch glass, iron stand, iron ring, wire gauze, stirring rod, tongs, top loading
balance and dropper.
B. Procedure
The evaporating dish and the watch glass was heated first using the alcohol lamp to make
it sure that it is dry and clean. Then the watch glass was paired to evaporating dish served as the
cover. The paired evaporating dish and watch glass was weighed with the used of tap loading
balance with a precision of nearest 0.01g. Then next, a 2.00 grams of baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) was added into the evaporating dish by tipping process. Latter on, the evaporating
dish with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) covered by watch glass was gain weighed in the top
loading balance and has been recorded. Next is, the alcohol lamp, iron ring and wire gauze has
been set up, while the evaporating dish obtaining 2.00 grams of baking soda was placed on top of
the wire gauze. The evaporating dish was covered by placing curved side down watch glass and it
was slightly off center so that the lip of the dish is uncovered. Then 6 N of hydrochloric acid has
been added in a dropwise down manner to the lip of the dish obtaining baking soda using a dropper.
The adding of acid was continued until such time that there were no more reaction took place
during the adding of acid. The content of the the dish was gently swirled so that all of the solid
gets contact through the liquid. Then, the bottom of the watch glass was rinsed carefully with
distilled water by the used of dropper, it takes few drops at a time and all the washings was
collected in the evaporating dish. Latter on, lit and prepare the alcohol lamp and the evaporating
dish, the content and cover while heating gently with the low flame. The lamp was moved back
and forth to avoid spattering. When the content of the dish started to spattered, make used of the
flame to be reduced. After the dish was heated, it was cooled down at its room temperature. Then
the dish, contents and the cover was weighed again using the top loading balance. For the last
thing, repetition for about 7 to 8 steps for obtaining the constant weighed. The two consecutive
mass reading was within 0.05 g. Then the theoretical yield of sodium chloride (NaCl) was
calculated based on what have been obtained from the reaction and the percentage yield had been
determined through calculations.

1. The Theoretical Yield of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) was calculated using the equation:
2. The Percentage Yield of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) was calculated using the equation:

The experiment entails significantly through the idea of chemical reaction, mass relation
in connection to stoichiometry. This defines a certain relations in combining elements and the
occurrence of chemical reaction by the meant of calculations.
In this experiment the chemical reaction shown is the neutralization reaction where in one
of the acids and base react in stoichiometric amount to produce water and salt. This is best
described as "acid base yields water plus salt". Speaking as hydrochloric acid (HCl) added into the
dish of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or shall we say baking soda, creating effervescence/bubbles
which is due to the double displacement creating CO2 cause from the breakdown of carbonic acid
(H2CO3) from sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Resulting the carbonic
acid to be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide. This causes liquefaction from solid state
and become a weak base combining strong acid.
The process of heating, vapors the water and leaving behind the white substance "salt"
which was considered with high melting point. Stoichiometric calculations define the theoretical
yield in obtaining the average mass of NaCl affected by some factors and the possible source of
error which could affect both theoretical and percentage yield.
The data of the experiments shows connection in achieving the concept of the following
ideas behind the data recorded in which coincide with given set of intentions in conducting the
experiment. The idea of defining and finding the essential relationship between mass and various
chemical reaction was justified and makes satisfied. The principal affiliation in stoichiometry was
already given and could be seen in the data recorded in which it was already derived and
simplified.
The whole experiment was already commendable for it is clearly understandable and well
stated procedures. This could be a good help for the next to provide more concepts in the field of
stoichiometric studies and related affiliations.
