SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on converting moles to grams and vice versa, specifically for potassium sulfide (K2S) and barium nitride (Ba3N2). The correct calculation for 6.80 moles of potassium sulfide yields 750 grams, using the molar mass of 110.24 g/mol. For barium nitride, 200 grams converts to approximately 0.455 moles, calculated by dividing 200 grams by the molar mass of 439.99 g/mol. The participants clarify the calculations and correct any typos in the initial responses.
