Why is stoichiometry important in soap making?
Stoichiometry will give a relationship on how much of one thing you need in reference to another. The problem is that it just isn’t practical because we don’t measure things by moles, or by number of molecules/atoms, but instead measure by volume (gases and liquids) or by mass (solids). In a nutshell: It tells you how much lye to add to the talo.
