Stoichiometry!

The definition of stoichiometry is the relation between the quantities of substances that take part in a reaction or form a compound.



To calculate...

Basically, given gX x (mol X/g of X) x (mol Y/ mol X) x (g Y/mol Y)= g Y.

Moles, or Avogadro's Number, are a key component in stoichiometry. Also, balancing the equation when writing it, is essential. This is how you balance an equation: click here!

To solve, first of all you write the units. And you simply have to write the given! (Do you write the given?). And then cancel your units.

It seems complicated, but after completing a few practice equations, I eventually mastered the art.
