Stoichiometry deals with calculating quantities in chemical reactions using mole ratios derived from balanced chemical equations.

You can determine the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction by using mole ratios from a balanced chemical equation.

A mole ratio is a conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation. Mole ratios are used to convert between mass and moles in stoichiometric problems.

Lesson Summary
Using Equations Stoichiometric calculations tell us the amounts of reactants and
products under ideal conditions.
Knowing the quantity of one substance in an equation allows you to calculate the
amount of any other substance consumed or created in the reaction.

Chemical Equations The solution to every stoichiometric problem requires a balanced


chemical equation.
In a balanced chemical equation, the total number of atoms of each element in the
reactants must equal the total number of atoms of that element in the products.
In a balanced chemical equation, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total
mass of the products.
