Question

2K(s) . Cl2(g) KL 2KCl(s) Write the six possible mole ratios for this equation
im so confused

Answer 1

Given the balanced chemical reaction:

2K(s) + Cl2 (g) ----> 2 KCl(s)

There are several mole ratios that can be extracted from the equation,

K/KCl = 2/2 = 1
K/Cl2 = 2/1 = 2
Cl2/KCl = 1/2

and then the reciprocal of the three mole ratios, this sums up to 6 mole ratios.
