Concept introduction:

The stoichiometry of a chemical species involved in a chemical reaction represents the number of chemical species involved in the chemical reaction. The stoichiometry of a chemical species helps in calculating the expected mass of reactant and product. The stoichiometry of a chemical species is also represented in a number of moles. The number of moles of a substance is given by the expression as shown below.

$\text{n}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{M}}$
