STOICHIOMETRY
Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry
that deals with the calculation of reactants
and products in chemical reactions. It is
based on the conservation of mass and the
law of definite proportions, which state that
matter cannot be created or destroyed in a
chemical reaction, and that substances react
in fixed ratios.
Mole is a counting unit
A mole is a very big number. If a
computer can count 10 million atoms per
second, it would take about two billion
years to count all the atoms in the mole.
The value of a mole (6.02 x 10 ) is 23
