| | Stoichiometry |
 | | Stoichiometry is the division of chemistry devoted to quantitative (numerical) analysis of chemicals, their relationships, and their reactions. |
 | | Stoichiometry makes it possible to determine how much of each reactant is needed to produce a given quantity of product in a reaction, to calculate formulas of compounds from decomposition products, to find volumes of gases under given conditions, to label concentrations of solutions, and much more. |
 | | Regardless, in general, stoichiometry lets chemists predict relatively accurately various properties of a reaction, not the least of which is the amount of product expected. |
