Unit 1: Stoichiometric Relationships

Stoichiometry serves as a fundamental aspect of chemistry, enabling the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions through concepts such as the mole, molar mass, and solution concentrations. Mastery of these concepts allows for predictions about product yields and the identification of limiting reactants in chemical equations. The chapter provides a framework for solving multi-step quantitative problems, including calculations for mass, moles, volumes, and concentrations.
