In this section, we will review some of the ideas related to stoichiometry that we have previously seen earlier in this textbook. The information presented here will be written differently than what you had seen previously, but it is about the same thing. Before starting on the section, please take a minute to review the mole maps that you have developed throughout your studying of this textbook. Do they still make sense to you? If you would change anything about them, please do so now. As you move through the example problems presented in this section, refer to your mole map and see if you could solve those problems using your mole map before looking at the solutions. If not, revise your mole map so that it is more helpful to you the next time you try out a stoichiometry problem.

If you would like to go back and review the information covered in this section prior to covering it again, or would like to make some comparisons between the previous time we looked at it and how we are looking at it now the following links might be helpful. For the basics of stoichiometry, review this chapter (excluding the stoichiometry applications, as we will be looking at those in more detail later in this chapter.) For stoichiometry and the ideal gas law, review this section. For stoichiometry and titrations, review the section.
