Stoichiometry is often a turning point where students struggle with the math-heavy side of chemistry. But with the right approach, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming! This episode is Part 2 of our series on The Mole & Stoichiometry, where I break down the key steps to solving stoichiometry problems with confidence.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:
✔️ What stoichiometry is and why it’s essential in chemistry
✔️ The four key steps to solving stoichiometry problems
✔️ Why balancing chemical equations is the first must-do step
✔️ How to use mole ratios effectively to convert substances
✔️ The importance of identifying given and unknown values
✔️ Tips for avoiding common mistakes like unit confusion and skipped steps
✔️ How stoichiometry connects to future topics like limiting reactants, percent yield, solutions, and gas laws
