Stoichiometry sounds like an intimidating topic, but the definition isn't as complicated as you might think. It is defined as, the process of using a chemical equation to calculate the relative masses of reactants and products involved in a reaction. The balanced equation for a chemical reaction describes the stoichiometry of the reaction. You always start off with what is given, and then you work your way to find what is needed. There are multiple ways to solve these problems, and I like using the magic number method. The video below will show you how to do it!
the magic number method
I would use magic number, but I found a little suspicious that there was only one video that had it on youtube versus the method Frank taught us. I hope that it worked out for you and that you had good luck on the test!
