17
Q

If you begin with 2 moles of P₄ and 12 moles of Cl₂ in the reaction: P₄ + 6Cl₂ -> 4PCl₃, how many moles of PCl3 are produced?

A

8 mols

The reactants side is increasing by a factor of 2 (x2), so you must also multiple the coefficient by 2 on the products side: 4 x 2 = 8

18
Q

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ -> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

If C₂H₆ has a mass of 30g, what is the total mass of C₂H₆ needed in regards to the equation?

A

2 mols x 30g = 60g
