What do coefficients in balanced equations show

Ratio of moles of each substance

Formula: calculating moles from mass

Moles = massMr\frac{mass}{Mr} (or Ar for elements)

When to use Ar instead of Mr

For elements

Moles of Mg in Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

1 mole

Moles of HCl in Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

2 moles

Moles of H2H_2 produced in Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

1 mole

Moles of MgCl2MgCl_2 formed in Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

1 mole

Moles in 6g of Mg (Mr = 24)

624=0.25\frac{6}{24} = 0.25 moles

What do mole ratios from equations help calculate

Amounts of substances needed or produced in reactions

Divide mass by what to find moles

Mr (or Ar for elements)
