Stoichiometry is the study of quantities in chemical reactions. Coefficients describe the number of moles of reactants and products involved in the reaction. The molar ratio is the ratio of coefficients for two substances in a reaction. The molar ratio is used to determine the amounts reactant needed, or product formed in a chemical reaction.
