Stoichiometry
The chemical recipe

2kg of flour 1 litre of milk 2 eggs one jar of biscuits.

The recipe of how to make a jar of biscuits. 2kg of flour 1 litre of milk 2 eggs one jar of biscuits.
If we represent 1kg of flour as "F", 1 litre of milk as"M", 1 egg as "E" and the jar of biscuits as "B" then we can write the recipe as an equation.
2F + L + 2E --> B
Write the equation for the baking of two jars of biscuits.
4F + 2L + 4E --> 2B
Write the equation for the baking of half a jar of biscuits.
F + 0.5L + E --> 0.5B
Write the equation for the baking of 8 jars of biscuits.
16F + 8L + 16E --> 8B
One teaspoon of coffee and two sugars make one cup of black coffee
If we represent the teaspoon of coffee as "TC", the teaspoon of sugar as "TS" and the cup of black coffee as "CBC", then we can write the recipe as an equation
TC + 2TS --> CBC.
Write the equation for the making of 2 cups of black coffee.
2TC + 4TS --> 2CBC.
Write the equation for the making of 4 cups of black coffee.
4TC + 8TS --> 4CBC.
