Chapter 9, Problem 11CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using a balanced chemical equation and an amount of starting material, the steps needed to calculate the expected amount of product should be summarized.

Concept Introduction:

The balanced equation for a chemical reaction gives the same type of information. It indicates the relative numbers of reactants and products involved in the reaction. Using the equation permits us to determine the amounts of reactants needed to give a certain amount of product or predict how much product can be made from a given quantity of reactants.
