... and a power ot ten.
For example: 1,3x10^21 is in scientific notation, but 13x10^20 is not in scientific notation.
I would use the following steps:
- Write the <em>balanced chemical equation</em> for the reaction.
- Use the molar mass to <em>convert the mass of the reactant to moles</em>.
- Use the molar ratio of product:reactant from the balanced chemical equation to <em>convert moles of reactant to moles of product</em>.
- Use the molar mass of the product to <em>convert moles of product to mass of product</em>.
You can use the diagram below to remind you of the importance of the <em>molar ratio</em> in mass-mass conversions
You must get over the mole “hill” to make the conversion.
