In chemistry, stoichiometry is the study of the combination of elements in chemical reactions.
Stoichiometry (/stoi-kE-'a-m&-trE/) (from Greek stoicheion meaning element or principle, and metron measure) refers to the relative number of atoms of various elements found in a chemical substance and is often useful in characterizing a chemical reaction.
Stoichiometry rests upon the law of definite proportions (i.e., the law of constant composition) and the law of multiple proportions.

 Stoichiometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stoichiometry (sometimes called reaction stoichiometry to distinguish it from composition stoichiometry) is the calculation of quantitative (measurable) relationships of the reactants and products in chemical reactions (chemical equations).
Stoichiometry, as used in chemistry, is related to the term stoichiometric in thermodynamics, which is used to refer to the "perfect mixture" of fuel and air.
Stoichiometry rests upon the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions (i.e., the law of constant composition) and the law of multiple proportions.

 Stoichiometry
You may have learned the term stoichiometry in a chemistry class, referring to the relative quantities of elements in a molecule, or the relative amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Stoichiometry, in its simplest definition, merely refers to the relative proportion of components.
Furthermore, the elemental stoichiometry of phytoplankton and zooplankton is well studied, allowing for specific predictions about the effects of nutrient loading on zooplankton herbivore communities.

Stoichiometry is often used to balance chemical For example the two diatomic gases hydrogen and oxygen can combine to form a liquid in an exothermic reaction as described by Equation 1.
Equation 2 does have proper stoichiometry and therefore said to be a "balanced" equation the same number of atoms of each on each side of the equation.

 stoichiometry
Stoichiometry, sometimes referred to as chemical arithmetic, deals with numerical relationships between atoms in molecules, and between atoms and molecules in chemical reactions.
The term stoichiometry was first introduced in the 1790’s by the German chemist Benjamin Richter, who performed numerous experiments in an effort to determine quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Although his experiments and his interpretation of them were flawed, the term stoichiometry slowly gained in acceptance and grew in scope over the next 100 years.

 Stoichiometry
The term stoichiometry is derived from two Greek words: stoicheion (meaning "element") and metron (meaning "measure").
Stoichiometry calculations are based on the fact that atoms are conserved.
Thus, simple stoichiometry at the atomic level appears to be complicated when amounts (quantities) are measured in units of g, kg, L or mL.

In teaching stoichiometry, I have noticed that about a third of my students have considerable difficulty understanding the thought processes required to successfully perform the necessary calculations.
While using the skeletons, each portion of a stoichiometry calculation is performed separately, with that answer being used in the next calculation until a final answer is reached.
They learn to fill in the proper blanks and work a series of calculations that takes them from their starting box to the ending box (which is their final answer).

 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.

Most stoichiometry problems follow a set strategy which revolves around the mole.
Now that you know how to convert grams to mols, mols A to mols B, and mols to grams, you can utilize the entire strategy, Quantity A --> mols A --> mols B --> Quantity B to work a typical stoichiometry problem encountered in which the theoretical yield of a substance is calculated.
