    Stoichiometry is a chemical branch that studies amounts of substances that are involved in reactions. Stoichiometry will help you to find out how much of the mixture you will need, or how much you started with. The calculations of a stoichiometry problem depends on a balanced chemical equations. The factors of the balanced equations signifies the molar ratio (the number of moles of each reactant needed to form a certain numbers of moles of each product) of the reactants and products taking part in

    Through the completion of this experiment, the dynamics of stoichiometry are demonstrated by preforming a chemical reaction in a solution. This procedure will ultimately show how limiting reactants are factored into a reaction by using a varying amount of reactants involved. To better understand this concept, it is vital to define stoichiometry; stoichiometry is a way of documenting the amounts of products and reactants involved through a series of coefficients that describes the ration in which

    on both sides of this equation, it is already balanced. Balancing a chemical equation is also called stoichiometry. Stoichiometry allows us to calculate the proportions of reactants to products. This has to do with the law of multiple proportions. This law states that a specific mass of one element combines with a specific mass of another in a ratio of whole numbers. Another use of stoichiometry is to convert to moles. The mole, a constant discovered by Avogadro, allows us to compare any substance

    1725 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chapter 1—Birth of Glass and Emergence of Diversified Glassware Believed to date back about as many as 5,000 years, the birth of glass had something to do with a copper-refining technique. Glass was reportedly generated when substances contained in fire clay, stone, and other materials in a copper refining kiln, started to melt and mix with each other at high temperature. It is considered that, in early days after the birth of glass, people mainly produced glass beads to use them as accessories,
