Mole to Mole conversions

Mole to mole conversion is basically predicting how many moles will be reacted or produced in a balanced equation. All you have to do is remember the golden rule:
                      What you need over what you have

That's about all you need to know so lets do some examples:

If you have 2moles of water and it decomposes, how many moles of hydrogen are produced?

                          2H2O = 2H+O2
                        
                        2 mol H2O * 2 = 2 mol H
                                            2
 2 moles of hydrogen are produced

If we wanted to know how many moles of oxygen were produced, we would do this

                      2H2O = 2H+O2
 
                     2 mol H2O * 1= 1 mol O2
                                         2

In this case only 1 mole of oxygen would be produced from 2 moles of water.



So now you know how to do Mole to Mole conversions.

Simple right?

So there you have it, Mole to Mole conversions. Simple right?
