Question

What is the mole ratio of D to A in the generic chemical reaction? 4A + B --> C + D​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mole ratio of D to A is 1 : 4

Explanation:

We are given the generic chemical equation;

4A + B → C + D​

We are supposed to determine the mole ratio of D to A

What is mole ratio?

• Mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles of reactants or products in a chemical reaction.
• We determine the mole ratio using the coefficients of reactants or products in question.

For example;

• In the equation, 4A + B → C + D​, the coefficient of A is 4 while the coefficient of D is 1.
• This means, 4 moles of A reacts with 1 mole of b to produce 1 mole of C and 1 mole of D
• Thus, mole ratio of D to A  is 1 : 4
