    Mathematics is widely used in chemistry to explore important concepts and perform necessary calculations. Without basic math skills, chemistry calculations and the subject itself become extremely difficult. However, learning the basic math used in chemistry allows one to understand what produces chemicals, what is produced when chemicals react, how much is produced, and chemical breakdowns, as demonstrated by the stoichiometric example given of calculating moles of O2 reacted given moles of CO2 produced.

    CHEMISTS

    MATHEMATICS IS USED WIDELY IN CHEMISTRY AS WELL AS ALL OTHER SCIENCES. MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO EXPLORE IMPORTANT CONCEPTS IN CHEMISTRY . WITHOUT SOME BASIC MATHEMATICS SKILLS , THESE CALCULATIONS , AND THEREFORE CHEMISTRY ITSELF, WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. (SHODOR.ORG ) HOWEVER, WHEN
    SOMEONE LEARNS THE BASIC MATHEMATICS USED IN CHEMISTRY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEMPT CHEMISTRY. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT PRODUCES CHEMICALS , WHAT IS PRODUCED WHEN CHEMICALS COME TOGETHER , HOW MUCH IS PRODUCED , AND THE BREAKDOWN .

    EXAMPLE:
    FOR THE REACTION : C2H4+3O22CO2+2H2O IF 6.0 MOL OF CO2 ARE PRODUCED , HOW MANY MOLES OF O2 WERE REACTED ?

    6.0MOL CO2 X 3MOL O2 / 2MOL CO2 = 9MOL O2
