How to Solve Stoichiometric Mole Ratio Problems (General Chemistry I)

*I recommend watching this in x1.25 - 1.5 speed

This video goes over how to how to solve stoichiometric mole ratio problems (often starting with "consider the reaction:"), or problems that ask "to react (#) moles of [element A], how many moles of [element B] would you need?" These can be kind of tricky off the bat, but after you understand how to compare the numbers of moles of each element using mole fractions, they become just a matter of plugging in the numbers and making calculations.

Let me know below in the comments if anyone would like more examples of any particular problem type. Videos on Hess's Law and PV=nRT are on their way, but not necessarily next. What are you guys struggling with most?


Hope this helps someone! Let me know down below if:
- you have an easier way to do these
- you found a mistake or want clarification on something
- you found this helpful :D


* I am not an expert in this topic. I am just a clinical lab scientist and life-long student who learns best from videos/visual representations and demonstration and have often turned to Youtube for help learning. My hope is that others in the same boat find and benefit from this.
