Answer:

Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products leading to the insight that the relations among quantities of reactants and products typically form a ratio of positive integers. This means that if the amounts of the separate reactants are known, then the amount of the product can be calculated. Conversely, if one reactant has a known quantity and the quantity of product can be empirically determined, then the amount of the other reactants can also be calculated. (Thats for solving) Hope this helps.
