Mole to Mole Conversions!

Coefficients in balanced equations tell us the number of moles reacted or produced. They can also be used as conversion factors. This brings us to the golden rule of mole to mole conversion, what you need over what you have.

How many moles of Calcium Phosphide are required to produce 2.3 mol of pure Calcium

2Ca3P2 -> 6Ca + P4

2.3 mol x 6/2 = 3 mol of Calcium Phosphoide

When 0.7 mol of Scandium react with Chromium (III) Fluoride how many mole of Chromium should be produced?

Sc + CrF3 = Cr + ScF3

0.7 mol x 1/1 = 0.7 mol. Of Chromium
