Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry concerned with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
It involves calculating the amounts of substances involved in a reaction based on the principles of conservation of mass and the mole concept.
Stoichiometric calculations typically determine the ratio of reactants needed for a complete reaction or the amounts of products produced.
These calculations are essential for understanding reaction yields, optimizing chemical processes, and predicting the outcomes of reactions in various applications, including industry and research.
