Stoichiometry Problem Solving Techniques

Mr. Millings introduces stoichiometry, explaining its role in chemistry for determining reactant and product quantities. The video covers various stoichiometry problems, including mass-to-mole and mole-to-mole conversions. It provides a detailed example using hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, explaining both theoretical and actual yields. The video outlines steps for solving mole-to-mole problems and offers multiple examples for practice. It concludes with practice problems and encourages viewers to apply learned concepts.
