In the reaction P₄ + 5 O₂ → 2 P₂O₅,in order the convert from moles of any substance to moles of another substance as shown by the block diagram. What is the conversion factor needed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion factor needed is the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation. This allows us to relate the amount of reactants and products in the reaction. The molar masses of the reactant and product are not sufficient to convert between them, as they only give the mass of one mole of the substance. Avogadro's number is a constant used when converting between moles and particles, but it is not directly relevant to this question.
