Question

Mole ratio compares the subscripts of two compounds in a balanced reaction.

(1 Point)
TRUE
FALSE

Answer 1

The correct option is FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles of two compounds in a balanced chemical reaction. Number of moles of a compound in a chemical reaction is the number written before the compound.

For example, the mole ratio of Iron (Fe) and water (H₂O) in the equation below is 3:4

3Fe + 4H₂O ⇒ Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂

Thus, mole ratio does not compare subscripts of compounds.
