Applied Science AQA/Amount of Substance

Setting Applied context
Chemical engineers and synthetic chemists rely on their knowledge of mole and reaction stoichiometries to determine reacting masses and yields for large-scale industrial production of chemicals. Analytical chemists also apply similar concepts in quantitative analysis, together with the selection of correct reagents to ensure accuracy of outcomes.
