Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves calculating the quantities of substances involved in a chemical equation, such as the amount of reactants required to produce a certain amount of product, or determining the yield of a reaction based on the amount of reactants. It is essential in understanding and predicting the outcomes of chemical reactions and plays a crucial role in various fields such as industrial chemistry, environmental science, and biochemistry.
