Mole Ratio Calculation
The mole ratio between components in a chemical reaction is determined by their stoichiometric coefficients.
For multiple components, simplify by dividing all coefficients by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Where:
- coefficientₙ: Stoichiometric coefficient for the nth component in the balanced equation.
- GCD: Greatest common divisor of all coefficients.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is a mole ratio?
A mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles of one substance to the number of moles of another substance in a chemical reaction, based on the stoichiometric coefficients.
How are mole ratios calculated?
Mole ratios are the ratios of the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation, often simplified by dividing by the GCD.
Why simplify ratios with GCD?
Simplifying provides the lowest whole-number ratios, making it easier to understand the relative proportions in the reaction.
What are stoichiometric coefficients?
Stoichiometric coefficients are the numbers in front of chemical formulas in a balanced equation, indicating the relative number of moles.
Where can I find balanced equations?
Balanced chemical equations are derived from chemical reactions and can be found in textbooks, lab manuals, or online chemistry resources.
