    Hello IncomparableDiplodocus2461,

    Thank you for your question! Stoichiometry is the study of the proportions of different substances in a chemical equation. To calculate these proportions, you can look at the number of moles or the mass of each substance. Here's a fact sheet on stoichiometry that could be very helpful:

    I hope that answers your question. Don't hesitate to write back if you still have any questions!

    Stoichiometry is the chemistry which enables quantitative calculation between the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Balanced Chemical Reaction is necessary to know the amount of substance in a reaction. It is done through the Law of Conservation of Mass. This means chemists can determine how much product can be made or how much reactant is needed to carry out a reaction. Hope that helps!
