Mole Ratio

The ratio between the amounts in moles of any two substances in a chemical reaction.

Reading Balanced Equations

N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3 means one mole of nitrogen gas reacts with three moles of hydrogen gas to produce two moles of ammonia.

Propane and Oxygen Reaction

C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O. To produce 14 moles of water, 17.5 moles of oxygen are needed.

Ammonia and Oxygen Reaction (Part A)

Balanced equation: 4NH3 + 3O2 -> 2N2 + 6H2O. 11 moles of ammonia react with 8.25 moles of oxygen.

Study Notes

Understanding Mole Ratio

  • Coefficients in a balanced chemical equation reveal the mole ratio between compounds.
  • N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3 signifies that one mole of nitrogen gas reacts with three moles of hydrogen gas to produce two moles of ammonia.
  • The mole ratio can be scaled.
  • 2 N2 + 6 H2 -> 4 NH3 as an example of doubling the original reaction.
  • 3 N2 + 9 H2 -> 6 NH3 as an example of tripling the original reaction.
    1. 5 moles of N2 will react with 4.5 moles of H2, based on the 1:3 ratio.

Example 1: Propane and Oxygen

  • Question: Determine the moles of oxygen gas required to produce 14 moles of water from the reaction of propane and oxygen gas.
  • Balanced equation: C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
  • The mole ratio of O2 to H2O is 5:4.
  • 10 moles of O2 yields 8 moles of H2O.
  • 15 moles of O2 yields 12 moles of H2O.
  • 20 moles of O2 yields 16 moles of H2O.
    1. 5 moles of oxygen are required to produce 14 moles of water.
  • Calculation: (14 moles H2O) * (5 moles O2 / 4 moles H2O) = 17.5 moles O2

Example 2: Ammonia and Oxygen

  • Question A: Determine the moles of oxygen gas required to react completely with 11 moles of ammonia.
  • Question B: Determine the moles of water produced in this process.
  • Balanced equation: 4NH3 + 3O2 -> 2N2 + 6H2O
  • The molar ratio between NH3 and O2 is 4:3, and between NH3 and H2O is 4:6.

Part A Solution

  • Starting with 11 moles of NH3, convert to moles of O2.
  • (11 moles NH3) * (3 moles O2 / 4 moles NH3) = 8.25 moles of O2 are required.

Part B Solution

  • Starting with 11 moles of NH3, convert to moles of H2O.
  • (11 moles NH3) * (6 moles H2O / 4 moles NH3) = 16.5 moles of H2O are produced.
  • 11 moles of ammonia will produce 16.5 moles of water and react completely with 8.25 moles of O2.
