Welcome to Chapter 3. I hope you are doing well and I am looking forward to this chapter on Stoichiometry. In this chapter you will be learning about:

the mole

molar masses and conversions

chemical equations and how to balance them

determining possible product mass (theoretical yield) using a limiting reactant (aka limiting reagent)

and more!

Notice that the hot dog bun reactant limits how much hot dog in bun product we can possibly achieve from the reaction of a hot dog with a bun! This is exactly what we will be doing in this chapter but instead we will be using the number of moles of reactants!
