Key Concepts

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves using coefficients in the balanced chemical equation to determine the proportions of each substance required or produced in the reaction.

Balanced Chemical Equation

A balanced chemical equation represents a chemical reaction in which the number and type of atoms on the reactants side are equal to those on the products side. This maintains the law of conservation of mass, ensuring that matter is neither created nor destroyed during the reaction.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a biological process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy by plants, algae, and some bacteria. In this process, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into glucose and oxygen using sunlight captured by chlorophyll. It is fundamental for converting solar energy into a form that can support life on Earth.
