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.
