Found MW for BaF2 as 173.31
Then took 100g/173.31 to get 0.57 moles. Did MW for other compounds now not sure where to go from here?

Have you read the linked page?

How many moles of BaCl2 needed to produce 0.57 moles of BaF2?

How many moles of NaF needed to produce 0.57 moles of BaF2?
 
  • #5
Need 1.14moles to produce 0.57 moles BaF2
Need 0.57 BaCl2 moles to produce 0.57 moles BaF2
So I need 47.89g of NaF
And 118.77g of BaCl2
Is that right?

1. What is stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between substances involved in chemical reactions. It involves calculating the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

2. Why is stoichiometry important?

Stoichiometry is important because it allows scientists to predict the amount of products that will be formed in a chemical reaction, as well as the amount of reactants needed for a desired outcome. It also helps with identifying limiting reactants and determining the efficiency of a reaction.

3. What is the difference between molar ratio and mole ratio?

Molar ratio and mole ratio are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. Molar ratio refers to the ratio of the number of moles of one substance to another in a chemical reaction, while mole ratio refers to the ratio of the number of molecules of one substance to another. In most cases, they are equivalent and can be used interchangeably.

4. How do you calculate the molar ratio?

Molar ratios can be calculated by using the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. The coefficient represents the number of moles of each substance in the reaction. For example, in the equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, the molar ratio of H2 to O2 is 2:1.

5. How do you solve stoichiometry problems?

To solve stoichiometry problems, you need to follow a few steps. First, write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Next, determine the known and unknown quantities and convert them to moles. Then, use the molar ratio to calculate the number of moles of the unknown substance. Finally, convert the moles of the unknown substance back to the desired units, if necessary.
