    How did you get the 1.75 moles you never explained that part

    • @sciencemadeeasier7100
      @sciencemadeeasier7100  5 лет назад +77

      you're basically, instead of saying, for every 4 moles of NH3 you need 7 Moles of O2. your dividing 4 by 4 to make it 1 and whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do the other, so you divide 7 by 4 aswell to get 1.75. therefore for every 1 mole of NH3 you will need 1.75 Moles of O2

      @blip trip in math generally, you want to get to 1 as your least common factor, so to get 7:4 is the same as 1.75:1 since 7/4=1.75, and 4/4=1. Hope this helps! :D

      So basically it's,
      So 4/4 = 1
      So 7/4 = 1.75

    • @sydneym3251
      @sydneym3251 7 лет назад +8

      Onalenna Moeti you have 4 mol NH3 and 7 mol O2. So when you take one mol NH3, you divided the original 4 mol NH3 by 4. (4/4 =1) So to keep the ratio the same, you also need to divide the original 7 mol O2 by 4 also (7/4 =1.75) . So that’s where the 7/4 mol O2 comes from.

      Mole ratio,

      Then you take that number and multiply it by 2.58 to get excess agent.
