Chapter 4, Problem 8PS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It should be determined that the amount of carbon required to complete the given reaction and the amount of products formed in the reaction. An amounts table for the given reaction also has to be set up.

Concept introduction:

• The number of moles of any substance can be determined  using the equation,

  $\text{Number}\text{of}\text{mole}\text{=}\frac{\text{Given}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{the}\text{substance}}{\text{Molar}\text{mass}}$

• The molar mass of an element or compound is the mass in grams of 1 mole of that substance, and it is expressed in the unit of grams per mol (g/mol).
• For chemical reaction balanced chemical reaction equation written in accordance with the Law of conservation of mass.
• Law of conservation of mass states that for a reaction total mass of the reactant and product must be equal.
• Amounts table is a table that shows the amounts of substances (reactants and products) in moles involved in the chemical reaction.
