Mass to mass conversions aren't that much different form mole to mole conversions though, you just have to do the correct conversions from last unit.
For Example:
You have 2.0 grams of HCl how many grams of H2 will you produce?
First of all write out the chemical equation.
2HCl reacts to form H2 + Cl2
This is when you start the conversions
2.0g x ((1 mol) / (1.0+ 17.0)) x (1/2) x ((2)/(1 mol)) = .11 g of H2
Of course you're probably wondering what I just did. Well let me explain.
In the first step. We were told that there was 2.0 g of HCl so we had to convert it into moles, thus like following the last unit we divided 2 by 18.
Then we multiplied the number of moles in HCl by what we had over what we needed (we had 1 H and we needed 2HCl)
After that we converted the moles of H into grams thus giving us an answer of .11 g.
Easy right? Of course if you still don't get it please just don't blurt out any random answer.
