A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 7.0 moles of carbon in a sample of nickel tetracarbonyl. 7 moles of oxygen are in the sample.
Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measure quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amounts of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.
The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.
According to Stoichiometry
[tex]7\ \text{mol C} \times \frac{1\ \text{mol O}}{1\ \text{mol C}}[/tex]
= 7 mol O
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 7.0 moles of carbon in a sample of nickel tetracarbonyl. 7 moles of oxygen are in the sample.
