Consider the generic chemical equation:

2 A + 3 B ------> 3 C

If 6 moles of A and 2 moles of B are reacted, what is the maximum number of moles of C that can be formed?

For this problem, you can see that a ratio exists between A, B, and C. Now you'll just have to find the constant k that satisfies this ratio using the proportional relationship formula.

After that, you can plug in the constant k to find the missing C value.
