proportions in which elements are combined in compounds.
Helpful?           0
The number of species of each type of element in the formula for a compound or reaction.
Helpful?           0
The quantitative relationships among the reactants and products in a chemical reaction as expressed by the equation for the reaction
Helpful?           0
the proportions in which the reagents combine in a chemical reaction. A reaction is termed stoichiometric when the quantities of reagents occur in the same molar proportions as the chemical equation
Helpful?           0
(chemistry) the relation between the quantities of substances that take part in a reaction or form a compound (typically a ratio of whole integers)
Helpful?           0
The study of the relationships between amounts of products and reactants.
Helpful?           0
Study of the mathematics of the material and energy balances (equilibrium) of chemical reactions.
Helpful?           0
the proportions in which species make up a balanced reaction, the proportions in which atoms occur within a specific chemical species.
Helpful?           0
The study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.
Helpful?           0
The quantitative relationship of chemical composition in chemical reactions, resulting from the conservation of mass, atoms and electrons.
Helpful?           0
The numerical coefficients in front of each chemical species in a balanced chemical reaction.

determines the molar ratios of reactants and products in an overall chemical reaction. We express the stoichiometry as a balanced chemical equation. For kinetics it is convient to write this as products minus reactants: npP + nqQ - naA - nbB (instead of the conventional equation naA + nbB --- npP + nqQ). This indicates that na and nb moles of reactants A and B, resp., produce np and nq moles of products P and Q.
Helpful?           0
The relative proportions in which elements form compounds or in which substances react.
Helpful?           0
Ratios of atoms in a compound. Ratios of moles of compounds in a reaction. A branch of chemistry that quantitatively relates amounts of elements and compounds involved in chemical reactions, based on the law of conservation of mass and the law of definite proportions.
Helpful?           0
Description of the quantitative relationships among elements and compounds as they undergo chemical changes.
Helpful?           0
Chemical reactions, typically associated with combustion processes; the balancing of chemical reactions by providing the exact proportions of reactant compounds to ensure a complete reaction; all the reactants are used up to produce a single set of products.
Helpful?           0
Stoichiometry (sometimes called reaction stoichiometry to distinguish it from composition stoichiometry) is the calculation of quantitative (measurable) relationships of the reactants and products in chemical reactions (chemical equations).
