Question

Given the fictitious chemical equation below 2 cups of tea 1 tablespoon of dry tea + 2 cups of water What is the appropriate stoichiometric factor relating the two "reactants"?
Calculate the Molar Ratios From Balanced Equations

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is known that for each one tablespoon of dry tea we need 2 cups of water if we want to make two cups of tea.

As 1 cup has 16 tablespoons.

Hence, number of tablespoons present in two cups of water will be as follows.

                    1 cup contains 16 tablespoons

                    2 cups will contain = 2 × 16

                                                     = 32 tablespoons

Therefore, the stoichiometry is 1 : 32.

Thus, we can conclude that the molar ratios from balanced equations is 1 :32.
