Stoichiometry
The quantitative relationships between
amounts of reactants used and products
formed by a chemical reaction.

Stoichiometry and the balanced chemical
equation.
Coefficients in a chemical reaction can represent
• Representative particles
• Moles of particles
H2O(l)
O2(g) + H2(g)
(*Balance this equation.)
Using stoichiometry, we can answer questions such as:
How many grams of oxygen is created by the
decomposition of 1 gram of water?
How many molecules of water are needed to create 10g
of hydrogen to be used in a fuel cell?

Mole Ratio
• Ratio between the numbers of moles of any two
substances in a chemical equation
• Used as conversion factors in stoichiometric
calculations
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g)
2Fe2O3(s)
