SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the stoichiometric conversion of moles in a chemical reaction represented by the equation 2 A + B → 2 C + 3 D. The user inquires about converting moles of product C from a given amount of product D, specifically 0.320 moles. The correct conversion method is confirmed, resulting in 0.213 moles of C produced from 0.320 moles of D using the ratio derived from the balanced equation.

Homework Statement


Hi! I was assigned a problem for chemistry like this:

2 A + B → 2 C + 3 D

It asks to find mol of C if you start with 0.320 mol D..

Can I convert between C and D? I know that I can convert between A and B.. but I'm not sure about C and D.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



If I can do that, then it's:

(0.320 mol D)(2 mol C/3 mol D)= 0.213 mol C
??

Your calculations are correct, but I don't like wording of the problem. It should be more like "how much C is produced together with 0.320 moles of D, if the reaction equation is..."
 
Oh, so its possible. :D Thanks! Sorry if I worded it weirdly.. I can't remember the exact words from the problem..
