Answer 1

Explanation and Answer:

When trying to find the mass of a substance from the mass of another substance using a chemical equation we have to follow some steps.

Before starting solving the problem we have to make sure that we have a balanced equation of the reaction. The steps are:

1. Make sure that we are working with a balanced chemical equation.

2. Convert the mass of the given compound to moles using its molar mass.

3. Convert the moles of the given compound into moles of the target compound using their molar ratio. Their molar ratio will be given by the relationship of their coefficients in the equation of the reaction.

4. Convert the moles of the target compound into grams using its molar mass.
