What is Stoichiometry?
Stoichiometry is the calculation of quantities in chemical reactions based on balanced equations. The coefficients in a balanced equation give the mole ratio — for 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, the ratio is 2:1:2, meaning 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water.
Stoichiometric calculations are essential in chemistry for determining how much reagent is needed, predicting product yields, identifying limiting reagents, and calculating percent yield. The mole ratio is the bridge between reactants and products.

Vanliga Frågor
What is a mole ratio? ▼
A mole ratio is the ratio of coefficients in a balanced equation. For N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, the mole ratios are N₂:H₂ = 1:3, H₂:NH₃ = 3:2, and N₂:NH₃ = 1:2.
What is a limiting reagent? ▼
The limiting reagent is the reactant that runs out first, determining the maximum product yield. The other reactant is 'in excess.' Identify it by dividing each reactant's moles by its coefficient — the smallest quotient is the limiting reagent.
How do you calculate percent yield? ▼
Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100. If you expected 50g of product but obtained 42g: Percent Yield = (42/50) × 100 = 84%.
Why must chemical equations be balanced for stoichiometry? ▼
Balanced equations obey the law of conservation of mass — atoms are neither created nor destroyed. Unbalanced equations give incorrect mole ratios and wrong calculations.
How do you convert between moles and grams? ▼
Multiply moles by molar mass to get grams. Divide grams by molar mass to get moles. Example: 3 moles of NaCl (MW=58.44) = 3 × 58.44 = 175.3 grams.
