Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data. Basically this means math. It can be easily visually in a flow chart, where the compound is placed into moles, converted, and the converted compound is changed back into mass, volume, or number or partials. In class we only did conversion involving mass. The result of the conversion told us how much of amount of a species can be used to create a product in a chemical reaction.
