We have seen how we can write chemical equations to predict what atoms
and ions will form when they rearrange. However, a balanced equation can allow
us to do something even more powerful. Using the coefficients like a recipe, we
can predict how much and how many of the new substances will form.
Compare to:
Recipe: 1 slice bologna + 2 slices bread 1 bologna sandwich
Ingredients ("Reactants") Product
So we have seen that the coefficients of an equation provide both of the following:
a. a recipe for individual "particles"
b. a recipe for large groups (moles) of particles
1. How many mol of water can be produced from 3.00 mol of oxygen?
2. How many grams of water can be produced from 12.5 mol of hydrogen?
3. How many molecules of H2O will be produced by reacting 25.0 g of O2 with H2?
