AI Thread Summary
To find molar ratios for chemical reactions, one can analyze the balanced equations directly. In the example provided, the reaction H2O + KO2 → KOH + O2 can be simplified to H2O + K2O → 2KOH, leading to a mole ratio of 1:1 for H2O to O2. The discussion highlights that understanding the correct chemical formulas is crucial for determining accurate ratios. Simple inspection of balanced equations often suffices to derive these ratios. Mastering this concept is essential for success in chemistry tests.

I'm new to this site so I'm not sure how this really works or if anyone will really answer at all.

I have a huge test coming up and I need to learn how to find mole ratios. If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Here are a couple of example problems maybe you could start with.

H2O + KO2 KOH + O2

and

H2O to O2


Thanks 8)

I'm afraid that mole ratios is a bit vague. Your examples seem straightforward enough to determine by simple inspection, so I'm sure that I don't quite get what you are confused about.

With this:
H2O + KO2 KOH + O2
you probably meant this:

H2O + K2O --------> 2KOH

so the mole ratio of H2O to O2 doesn't make sense to me. That said, if you meant to ask what you typed in the post, the answer is simple... the ratio of water to oxygen is 1:1 (by inspection).
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
