Stoichiometry:

The study of relationship between the amounts of reactants and products as indicated by the balanced chemical equation is called stoichiometry.


Explanation:

Stoichiometry is used to calculate the amount of the product formed or that of the reactant required in a reaction.

Stoichiometric calculations are performed by the following assumptions in hand:
i)          Reactants are completely converted into products.
ii)         No side-reaction occurs.
iii)        Stoichiometry calculations are based on the two laws of chemical combinations:

(a) Law of Conservation of Mass
(b) Law of Definite Proportions
