stoichiometry
(noun)
The calculation of relative quantities or reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Examples of stoichiometry in the following topics:
-
Gas Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of the relative amounts of reactants and products in chemical reactions; gas stoichiometry involves chemical reactions that produce gases.
- Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass, meaning that the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products.
- Shows how to use stoichiometry to convert from grams of a gas to liters of a gas.
- Calculate volumes of gases consumed/produced in a reaction using gas stoichiometry.
-
Amount of Reactants and Products
- Stoichiometry is the study of the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions and how to calculate those quantities.
- Stoichiometry is the field of chemistry that is concerned with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- In addition, stoichiometry can be used to find quantities such as the amount of products that can be produced with a given amount of reactants and percent yield.
- Reaction stoichiometry describes the quantitative relationship among substances as they participate in various chemical reactions.
-
Reaction Stoichiometry
- Reaction stoichiometry studies the quantitative relationships between reactants and products within a given chemical reaction.
- Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products that are consumed/produced within a given chemical reaction.
- From this brief description, we can see that stoichiometry has many important applications.
- Stoichiometry can also be used to make useful determinations about limiting reactants, and to calculate the amount of excess reactant(s) left over after a given reaction has run to completion.
- The science of stoichiometry is possible because it rests upon the law of conservation of mass.
-
Solution Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry can be used to calculate the quantitative relationships between species in aqueous solution.
- The next step, as in any calculation involving stoichiometry, is to determine our limiting reactant.
- Stoichiometry deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
-
Electrolysis Stoichiometry
-
Limiting Reagents
- From stoichiometry, the exact amount of reactant needed to react with another element can be calculated.
- Then use stoichiometry to calculate the mass of the product that could be produced for each individual reactant.
