What is Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry is a fundamental concept in chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions. It enables chemists to predict the amounts of products formed or reactants needed in a chemical reaction. This calculation method is essential in both theoretical chemistry and practical laboratory work, helping to determine the exact proportions of substances involved in chemical reactions.
