With ratio of 2:18 sodium phosphate to calcium chloride solution can the stoichiometry of the reaction between sodium phosphate and calcium chloride be determined?

1 answer

No, the stoichiometry of the reaction cannot be determined solely based on the ratio of the two reactants in the solution. Stoichiometry is the study of quantitative relationships in a chemical reaction, including the ratios of reactants and products based on the balanced chemical equation. To determine the stoichiometry of the reaction between sodium phosphate and calcium chloride, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction would need to be known. From there, the molar ratios of the reactants and products can be determined.
