A/1 * B/C = D

You discover a chemical reaction that produces 3 moles of valuable propane for every 7 moles of carbon supplied.

Essentially, this is an exchange rate of 3 moles of propane for every 7 moles of carbon.

If you have 1.5 moles of carbon, how many moles of propane can you produce using this reaction?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mole (one decimal place). Input the number with no units

0.64 Moles of Propane

Explanation:

dа ta:

Moles of Carbon = 1.5 mol

Conversion factor = 7 mol C produces = 3 mol of Propane

Solution:

As we know,

7 moles of Carbon produces = 3 moles of Propane

Then,

1.5 moles of Carbon will produce = X moles of Propane

Solving for X,

X = (1.5 moles * 3 moles) : 7 moles

X = 0.6428571 moles of Propane

Or rounded to two significant figures,

X = 0.64 Moles of Propane
