FORMULATOR
JEREMIAS BENJAMIN RICHTER
German Chemist
It was Richter who coiled the term STOICHIOMETRY, a
tongue-twisting word that baffles students to this day.
Stoichiometry was derived from stoikheion, greek for
element and “metron”, meaning measure
DEFINITION:
Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of the
relative amounts of reactants and products in
chemical reactions; gas stoichiometry involves
chemical reaction that produce gases.
Stoichiometry is based on the law of
conversation of mass, meaning that the mass of
the reactants must be equal to the mass of the
products. This assumption can be used to solve
for unknown quantities of reactants or products.
