i. Generally, problems based on stoichiometry are of the following types :
- Problems based on mass-mass relationship
- Problems based on mass-volume relationship
- Problems based on volume-volume relationship.
ii. Steps involved in problems based on stoichiometric calculations :
- Write down the balanced chemical equation representing the chemical reaction.
- Write the number of moles and the relative masses or volumes of the reactants and products below the respective formulae.
- Relative masses or volumes should be calculated from the respective formula mass referring to the condition of STP.
- Apply the unitary method to calculate the unknown factors) as required by the problem.
