Chapter 3, Problem 3.70P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The moles of $\text{Bi}$ formed by the reaction of $0.607{\text{ mol Bi}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ with excess carbon is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical equation corresponding to the given compound should be balanced properly. In a balanced chemical equation, the total mass of reactants and products are equal in a balanced chemical equation, thus, it obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

The mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation is used for determining the moles of product.
