Study Notes
Stoichiometry Basics
- The Law of Definite Proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry describes the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions
Balanced Chemical Equations
- A balanced chemical equation indicates that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides
- If the amounts of the separate reactants are known, the amount of product formed can be calculated
Example: Methane Reaction
- In the balanced equation, 2H2O molecules are produced when 1 CH4 molecule reacts
