Answer 2

A. Unit conversion factors are used to convert between units of

grams and moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In stoichiometry mass of a substance is calculated from the inter-conversion between moles and grams using conversion factors.
• That is, to calculate the mass of a compound or an element in a chemical equation we multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the compound.
• Moles can be calculated from the mole ratio of reactants and products involved or by dividing mass of a compound by the molar mass.
