1. What is Mole Ratio?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the mole ratio formula:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{From Balanced Equation Coeffs}}{\text{Mole ratio with equation}} \]

Where:

Numerator — Coefficient of the first substance
Denominator — Coefficient of the second substance

Explanation: The ratio is derived directly from the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.

3. Importance of Mole Ratio

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the coefficients from your balanced equation. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is mole ratio important?
A: It allows conversion between amounts of reactants and products in chemical reactions.

Q2: What does a mole ratio of 2:1 mean?
A: It means 2 moles of one substance react with 1 mole of another substance.

Q3: Can mole ratio be used for mass calculations?
A: Yes, but you must first convert masses to moles using molar masses.

Q4: What if my equation isn't balanced?
A: You must balance the equation first to get correct coefficients for the ratio.

Q5: Are mole ratios always whole numbers?
A: In most cases yes, but some complex reactions may have fractional coefficients.
