Chapter 9.1, Problem 9.1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mole ratio needed to calculate moles of $\text{KCl}$ produced from $3.5$ moles of ${\text{KClO}}_{\text{3}}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Mole ratio:

A mole ratio is a ratio between the numbers of moles of any two species involved in a chemical reaction.

Example,

In the reaction ${\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{+O}}_{\text{2}}\stackrel{}{\to }{\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$, the mole ratio can be written as $\frac{\text{2}\text{mol}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{1}\text{mol}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}.$
