Step 1: Write the Balanced Chemical Equation

Write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Step 2: Convert Given Quantity to Moles


If you are given a quantity in grams, convert it to moles using the molar mass (formula mass) of the substance. If given in particles (atoms, molecules, ions), use
Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23/mol) to convert to moles.

Step 3: Use Mole Ratios


Use the coefficients from the balanced equation to set up mole ratios. This helps convert moles of one substance to moles of another.

Step 4: Perform the Calculation


Perform the necessary calculations using the information obtained in the previous steps.

Step 5: Check your Answer


Ensure that your answer makes sense in the context of the problem. Does it match what you would expect based on the chemical equation and the given
information?
