Stoichiometry deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. One can determine the amount of substances involved in a reaction and predict the outcome of a reaction based on the principle of conservation of mass.

Stoichiometry is based on the balanced chemical equation, which provides the relative ratios of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. These ratios are expressed in terms of moles, a unit of measurement used to count atoms and molecules.

Stoichiometry involves various calculations and conversions to determine the amounts of substances in a reaction. It allows us to answer questions such as:

• How much of a reactant is needed to produce a certain amount of product?

• How much product can be formed from a given amount of reactant?

• What is the limiting reactant, the substance that limits the amount of product that can be formed?

Stoichiometry is not limited to the calculation of amounts of substances. It can also include the determination of percent yield, which compares the actual yield of a reaction to the theoretical yield predicted by stoichiometry. Percent yield provides insight into the efficiency of a reaction and the factors that may affect its outcome.
