Question

Hye guys
Plzz explain stoichiometric formulae

Answer 1

Stoichiometry is founded on the law of conservation of mass where the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products. The amount of product can easily be calculated if the amounts of the separate reactants are known.

CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

Here, One molecule of methane (CH4) reacts with 2 molecules of Oxygen gas to achieve 2 molecules of CO2 and two molecules of water. The quantitative relationship here is measured by the Stoichiometry and also used to find out the amount of reactants that are yield in a given reaction.
