Question

Explain how to convert a mass of compound A to a mass of compound D in words using the following reaction:

2A + 4B = C + 3D

You don't have to just give me the answer but if you can help me understand id appreciate it greatly

Answer 1

1. Convert the mass of A to moles dividing in molar mass

2. Convert the moles of A to moles of D (2mol A = 3mol D)

3. Convert the moles of D to mass multiplying by its molar mass

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the equation, 2moles of A produce 3 moles of D, the equation is:

2mol A = 3mol D

But in the problem you are having the mass of A and you need the mass of D. That means you require to convert the mass of A to moles. With the moles of A you can find the moles of D and, as last, you need to convert the moles of A to mass.

To convert mass to moles or vice versa you must use Molar Mass. That means, the answer is:

1. Convert the mass of A to moles dividing in molar mass

2. Convert the moles of A to moles of D (2mol A = 3mol D)

3. Convert the moles of D to mass multiplying by its molar mass
