What does stoichiometry means??

Question

.further details! thanks

Answer 1

Water is H2O or two hydrogen atoms to every oxygen atom.  For a stoichiometric reaction you must supply exactly the right mass of hydrogen and oxygen such that all atoms combine to make water and there is no free hydrogen or oxygen left over.

Answer 2

Essentially it is the 'reacting ratio' of the substances in a reaction.

Putting it differently it's 'the numbers you need to balance the equation'.

Answer 3

.in chemistry..

.stoichiometry involves the calculation of quantities of any substances involved in a chemical reaction from the quantities of the other substances..

.the balanced equation gives the ratios of formula units of all the substances in a chemical reaction..

.it also gives the corresponding ratios of moles of the substances..

Answer 4

the branch of chemistry which deals with quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation is called stoichiometry.

to perform stoichiometric calculations following assumptions are necessary:

i)all the reactants are completely converted into products.

ii)no side reaction is taking place.

iii)law of conservation of mass and law of definite proportions are obeyed.
