Chapter 11.1, Problem 8SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The information regarding the general form of chemical equation along with the elements and their coefficients is given. The mole ratios for the given reaction are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Mole ratio is use for the conversion between products and reactants. It is defined as the ratio of moles of any of the two compounds that are involved in the reaction.

Answer to Problem 8SSC

The mole ratio for given equation is shown below:

$\begin{array}{l}x\text{A}/y\text{B}\text{and}\text{}x\text{A}/z\text{AB}\\ y\text{B}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}y\text{B}/z\text{AB}\\ z\text{AB}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}z\text{AB}/y\text{B}\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

The given chemical equation is shown below:

$x\text{A}+y\text{B}\to z\text{AB}$

The first mole ratio for above equation is shown below:

$x\text{A}/y\text{B}\text{and}\text{}x\text{A}/z\text{AB}$

Thus, on reaction of x moles of A, y moles of B are used. Similarly, on reaction of x moles of A, z moles of AB are formed.

The second mole ratio for above equation is shown below:

$y\text{B}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}y\text{B}/z\text{AB}$

Thus, on reaction of y moles of B, x moles of A are used. Similarly, on reaction of y moles of B, z moles of AB are formed.

The third mole ratio for above equation is shown below:

$z\text{AB}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}z\text{AB}/y\text{B}$

Thus, on formation of z moles of AB, x moles of A are used. Similarly, on formation of z moles of AB, y moles of B are used.

Conclusion

The mole ratio for given equation is shown below:

$\begin{array}{l}x\text{A}/y\text{B}\text{and}\text{}x\text{A}/z\text{AB}\\ y\text{B}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}y\text{B}/z\text{AB}\\ z\text{AB}/x\text{A}\text{and}\text{}z\text{AB}/y\text{B}\end{array}$
