Mole Ratio Formula:
From: | To: |
The mole-to-mole ratio is the ratio of coefficients between any two substances in a balanced chemical equation. It shows the proportional relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
The calculator uses the mole ratio formula:
Where:
Explanation: The ratio is derived directly from the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation and is dimensionless.
Details: Mole ratios are essential for stoichiometric calculations, determining limiting reactants, and predicting product amounts in chemical reactions.
Tips: Enter the stoichiometric coefficients from your balanced equation for the product and reactant you're interested in. Both values must be positive integers.
Q1: Can I use this for any chemical equation?
A: Yes, as long as the equation is properly balanced and you're using the correct coefficients.
Q2: What if my ratio comes out as a fraction?
A: That's normal and expected. Many mole ratios are fractional relationships.
Q3: How precise should my ratio be?
A: Typically 3-4 significant figures are sufficient for most applications.
Q4: Can I calculate reverse ratios?
A: Yes, simply swap the product and reactant coefficients to get the inverse ratio.
Q5: Does this work for ionic equations?
A: Yes, the same principles apply to net ionic equations.
