The Basics of Stoichiometry: Understanding the Quantities in Chemical Reactions
Stoichiometry is a fundamental concept in chemistry that involves the study of the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Derived from the Greek words “stoicheion” meaning “element” and “metron” meaning “measure,” stoichiometry allows chemists to make predictions and perform calculations for a variety of chemical reactions. In this article, we will delve…
