Stoichiometry

In simple words, we can define,


Stoichiometry as the calculation of products
and reactants in a chemical reaction. It is
basically concerned with numbers.

What is Using a balanced chemical equation to


determine how much reactant or product is
consumed or produced in a chemical
Stoichiometry? reaction.

2 H2 (g) +O2 (g)=2 H2O(l)


Chemical Equations

• 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (l)

4 moles molecules + 2 moles molecules 4 moles molecules

Coefficients in Chemical Equation represents mole ratios


Fuel and
Combustion

Any material that can be burned to release


thermal energy is called a fuel.
Most familiar fuels consist primarily of
hydrogen and carbon. They are
called hydrocarbon fuels and are
denoted by the general formula CnHm.
Hydrocarbon fuels exist in all phases,
some examples being coal, gasoline,
and natural gas.
