1. Write the balanced equation
(reaction).
2. Convert the known
information (e.g. mass) of the reactant to moles.
A. If need help
on determining the appropriate mole equation (e.g. mass ,volume,
#particles)
look at Graphic Organizer.
B. Will modify this
step when we get to Limiting Reactant problems
3. Use the balance equation to set-up the
right "Molar Ratio" to go from
the known substance to the
unknown substance.
4. Convert from
the moles of the unknown substance to the unknown information
(e.g. are you looking for
mass, volume, # of particles).
A. Again, if you
need help on determining the appropriate equation,
look at the Graphical Organizer.
