Stoichiometry definitions Flashcards

Study of quantitative relationships in a balanced chemical equation to predict product amounts from reactants.

An equation with equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides, crucial for stoichiometric calculations.

A unit representing 6.022 x 10^23 particles, used to convert between mass and number of particles in stoichiometry.

A tool used to convert given quantities to unknown quantities through mole-to-mole comparisons.

The initial quantity of a substance provided in a stoichiometric problem, often in grams or moles.

The quantity of a substance to be determined in a stoichiometric problem, derived from given information.

A step in stoichiometry using coefficients from a balanced equation to relate moles of reactants to products.

Numbers in a chemical equation indicating the ratio of moles of each substance involved in the reaction.

A unit of mass used in stoichiometry to measure the given or unknown quantities of substances.

The smallest unit of an element, used in stoichiometry to express quantities of substances.

Groups of atoms bonded together, used in stoichiometry to express quantities of substances.

Charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, used in stoichiometry to express quantities.

The lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound, used in stoichiometry to express quantities.

The transition from moles of given to moles of unknown in stoichiometry, using a balanced equation.

The process of changing a quantity from one unit to another, such as grams to moles, in stoichiometry.
