1. What is Mole Ratio in Chemistry?

The mole ratio is the ratio of coefficients of substances in a balanced chemical equation. It represents the proportional relationship between the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the mole ratio equation:

Where:

• \( \text{Coefficient A} \) — Stoichiometric coefficient of first substance (unitless)
• \( \text{Coefficient B} \) — Stoichiometric coefficient of second substance (unitless)

Explanation: The ratio shows how many moles of one substance react with or produce moles of another substance in a balanced chemical equation.

3. Importance of Mole Ratio

Details: Mole ratios are essential for stoichiometric calculations, determining limiting reactants, and predicting product yields in chemical reactions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the coefficients from your balanced chemical equation. Coefficient B must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where do I find the coefficients?
A: Coefficients come from balanced chemical equations (the numbers before each compound).

Q2: Can mole ratio be less than 1?
A: Yes, when Coefficient A is smaller than Coefficient B, the ratio will be less than 1.

Q3: How is mole ratio used in stoichiometry?
A: It converts between moles of different substances in a chemical reaction.

Q4: Does mole ratio have units?
A: No, mole ratio is unitless since it's a ratio of coefficients.

Q5: What if my chemical equation isn't balanced?
A: You must balance the equation first to get correct coefficients for accurate mole ratios.
