Good job! You had trouble with the questions, but you made it through the quiz so you've shown you're serious about learning stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is just a 5-syllable word that means mass relations. It sounds intimidating, but it's really not that complicated. It's the study of how much matter reacts with other matter to form compounds and participate in chemical reactions.

To understand stoichiometry, start with this introduction to the topic. It might also help to review molecules and moles, which includes how chemical formulas work.

Ready for another quiz? Here's a quick self-test about the mole. If you'd rather switch gears, see if you know the answers about how chemistry explains the real world.

Great work! You've shown you have a good command of mass relations and how the rules used to form chemical compounds and rearrange them in chemical reactions. If you feel a bit shaky about any part of stoichiometry, you can review the basic principles, including the different types of chemical formulas. Moving forward, you'll need to learn how to find theoretical yield and identify the limiting reactant.

Are you ready for another quiz? Put your stoichiometry know-how to use to see whether you can balance these chemical equations. If you'd rather just have some fun, see which chemical element best fits your personality.
