Hi
Stoichiometry rests upon the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions (i.e., the law of constant composition) and the law of multiple proportions. In general, chemical reactions combine in definite ratios of chemicals. Since chemical reactions can neither create nor destroy matter, nor transmute one element into another, the amount of each element must be the same throughout the overall reaction. For example, the amount of elements x on the reactant side must equal the amount of element X on the product side.
Ionic compounds differ in the way , that in case of ionic reactions one also needs to tak e care of the charge balance which is not the case with simple stotiometric balances. ionic rxn differ from simple rxns in this way
