1. Stoichiometry Definition

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Stoichiometry: The branch of chemistry that quantifies the relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, based on balanced equations.
  • Mole: The standard unit in chemistry representing (6.022 \times 10^{23}) entities (atoms, molecules, ions), enabling quantitative analysis.
  • Balanced Chemical Equation: An equation with equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides, reflecting the conservation of mass.
  • Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol), used to convert between mass and moles.
  • Limiting Reactant: The reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of product formed.
  • Theoretical Yield: The maximum amount of product obtainable from a given amount of reactants, based on stoichiometry.
