How much can a reaction produce?

        A stoichiometry reaction can produce a lot of different numbers and masses. Stoichiometry is basically a whole bunch of converting and equations. It is a very complicated thing if you read between the lines. Nearly all of these equations call for molar masses of the substances that are involved, so you must know how to calculate that. A lot of these problems have equations that already cancel out several factors.

         There is also a "Three-step method", which you may find quite useful, since what I am saying most likely does not make any sense.

1. List and organize all of the information that you already know about the products that are involved in your problem. This includes masses and units of measurement.

2. There are a list of equations that you may choose from. For example, if you ask for the mass of this when you are given this amount of (blank). So from the information that you are given, you figure out which problem you should use. You then begin to convert any units that you need to the correct units, which would again, be molar mass.

3. After you are finished with setting up the problem, you may begin to estimate it. As I mentioned before, a lot of these problems have equations that automatically have things that you can cancel out (most likely a mole or some grams that are equal). Then you actually use your calculator and calculate the problem out and you would normally round to the nearest tenth.
