Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
Use the question marck Moles of CO2
The the giving = 0.624 mol O2
Find the CF faction = 1 mole= 32.00 of O2
O= 2x16.00= 32.00amu ( writte this in the cf fraction)
SET UP THE CHART
Always start with the giving
0.624 mol O2 / 1mol of CO2
___________ / _____________ = Cancel the queal ( O2)
/ 32.00c O2
/
/
Multiply the top and divide by the bottom
0.624 mol CO x 1mol CO2 = 0.624 divide by 32.00 O2 =0.0195
You should look at the giving number ( how many num u gor ever there)
Ur answer should have the same # as ur givin so
= 0.0195
= .0195 mol of CO2
