Dimensional Analysis Derivation
1. Moles of A: 2.5 mol of C3H8 (Propane)
2. Stoichiometric Ratio: $n_B = n_A \times \frac{b}{a} = 2.5\text{ mol} \times \frac{3}{1} = 7.5\text{ mol}$
3. Mass of B: $m_B = n_B \times M_B = 7.5\text{ mol} \times 44.01\text{ g/mol} = 330.075\text{ g}$

What is Chemical Stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a balanced chemical reaction based on the law of conservation of mass.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

n_product = n_reactant × (Coeff_product / Coeff_reactant)

Stoichiometric mole ratio conversion.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Reaction: 2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O. How many moles of H2O from 4 moles of H2?

Solution: 4.000 moles of H2O
• 4 mol H2 × (2 mol H2O / 2 mol H2) = 4.000 mol
