What is Stoichiometry?

Back

Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the conservation of mass.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

What is a balanced chemical equation?

Back

A balanced chemical equation has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation, ensuring the conservation of mass.

What is a mole in chemistry?

Back

A mole is a unit of measurement in chemistry that represents 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).

Front

How do you convert grams to moles?

Back

To convert grams to moles, divide the mass of the substance (in grams) by its molar mass (in g/mol).

What is the molar mass of Methane (CH4)?

Back

The molar mass of Methane (CH4) is approximately 16.04 g/mol.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.
