Section 11.1 What is stoichiometry?
In your textbook, read about stoichiometry and the balanced equation.
For each statement below, write true or false.
_______true___________ 1. The study of the quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants used and the amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction is called stoichiometry.
________true__________ 2. Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass.
_________false_________ 3. In any chemical reaction, the mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants.
________true__________ 4. The coefficients in a chemical equation represent not only the number of individual particles but also the number of moles of particles.
________true__________ 5. The mass of each reactant and product is related to its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation for the reaction by its molar mass.
