tell me about stoichiometry and stoichimetric calculation.

ok

Say we have a formula for a compound di hydrogen monoxide \[H_2O\] the two is because for ever molecule there are two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

to make hydrogen monoxide we can burn Hydrogen gas in Oxygen both Hydrogen and oxygen are diatomic (two atoms in per molecule) \[H_2+O_2\rightarrow H_2O\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

however we notice the equation is not balanced,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

balancing the reactants and products 's number of atoms per reaction we find \[2{H_2}_{(\text g)}+{O_2}_{(\text g)}\rightarrow 2{H_2O}_{(\text g)}\] that twice the number of molecules of Hydrogen as Oxygen are needed

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

gasses of the same T,P,V, will have the same number of atoms per unit volume , a standard mole of gas will always occupy around 24L at STP

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the stoichiometric numbers are these ones \[\color{red}2{H_2}_{(\text g)}+\color{red}1{O_2}_{(\text g)}\rightarrow \color{red}2{H_2O}_{(\text g)}\], they express not only the ratio of the reactants and products in molecules per reaction but this is also the same ratio of moles of each species in the reaction,
