AI overview
Stoichiometry is the study of the numerical relationships between the quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction, such as how much of each ingredient is needed and how much product will result. It matters because it allows chemists to predict and control the amounts of chemicals required for reactions, making it essential for everything from industrial manufacturing to cooking and medicine.
