Consider the following generic reaction.
2 A(s) + 3 B(l) → C(g)
If 58.0 g of A reacted completely with B to produce 100.8 g of C, what mass of B reacted?

Question

Consider the following generic reaction. 
2 A(s) + 3 B(l) → C(g)
If 58.0 g of A reacted completely with B to produce 100.8 g of C, what mass of B reacted?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mass of B that reacted, we use the law of conservation of mass, which states that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products. The mass of A that reacted is given as 58.0 g, and the mass of C produced is 100.8 g. Therefore, the mass of B that reacted can be calculated as follows: mass of A + mass of B = mass of C, which rearranges to mass of B = mass of C - mass of A = 100.8 g - 58.0 g = 42.8 g.
