/noun [mass noun] Chemistry
The relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers.This relationship, called the stoichiometry of a reaction, can be used to predict how much reactant is needed to create a certain amount of product or to predict how much of the product will be formed from a certain amount of reactant....
- The relative stoichiometry of the different sequence copies in the parental lines was also studied.
- Finally, the net reaction may be exothermic or (more commonly) endothermic, depending on reaction stoichiometry.
Origin
