What is stoichiometry?
When the space shuttle took off it used two different rocket systems. The main engines were powered by combining oxygen and hydrogen in the highly exothermic reaction
2H2 + O2 ⇌ 2H2O
The fuel was stored in that brown tank in liquid form as liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). Liquids are much more dense than gases, so storage in the liquid phase allows the shuttle to carry an immense amount of fuel.
Unfortunately, that fuel made up the majority of the weight of the shuttle at liftoff. So most of what the shuttle engines lifted from the ground was fuel. That means it was very important not to have too much of one or the other reactant on board. We'd want just enough hydrogen to react with the amount of oxygen on board, and vice versa. That's where stoichiometry and moles are essential. Sana makatulong po sa inyo
