Stoichiometry The study of quantities of materials consumed and produced in chemical reactions.

Stoichiometry Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantities of substances that enter into (reactants), and are produced by (products), chemical reactions. Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantities of substances that enter into (reactants), and are produced by (products), chemical reactions. For example, when methane unites with oxygen in complete combustion: For example, when methane unites with oxygen in complete combustion: –16g of methane require 64g of oxygen (reactants) –16g of methane require 64g of oxygen (reactants) –At the same time 44g of carbon dioxide and 36g of water are formed as reaction products. (products)

Why is Stoichiometry Important? Just one example….. Just one example….. In industry, profits depend on the amount of products made from a given amount of materials. Therefore, manufacturers need to be able to calculate the amounts of reactants that will result in product.
