Question

Given the following balanced chemical equation:

2KHCO3→K2CO3+ CO2+ H2OA.

What are the conversion factors between moles of KHCO3and moles of K2CO3?

Answer 1

2 to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

2KHCO₃ → K₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O

The conversion factor between the moles of KHCO₃ and K₂CO₃ is 2 to 1.

From the balanced chemical equation, we find out that;

2 moles of 2KHCO₃ will produce 1 mole of K₂CO₃.

So given any mole of either of the reactant or product, we can find the unknown.
