Different Mole Ratios And It’s Reactions
Introduction:
Chemical reactions play an important role when it comes to mole ratios. Chemical reactions are the arrangements of atoms. It's when the substances change into different substances during a reaction. When a chemical reaction happens the reaction is known as the reactant and the substance that is produced after that is known as the product. Stoichiometry can determine the mole ratios. Mole ratios are the relationship between two compounds. Moles are also involved in chemical reactions. The task is to determine how varying mole ratios of the reactants can affect the amount that is produced. Why does mixing reactants in different mole ratios affect the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over?

Before starting the trials that will be done, make sure to have safety equipment. Such as goggles and aprons. Next, gather the solutions of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate. Along with the pH paper. Gather the rest of the materials that will be needed such as; side-arm erlenmeyer flask with a stopper (50mL), pneumatic trough, tubing (50cm), electronic beam balance, graduated cylinder (50mL), spatula or chemical scoop, and weighing paper. Next, fill the graduated cylinder with water, then put a hand over it and flip into the pneumatic trough. While doing this step make sure the least bubbles get in. This can affect the results of the experiment. Stick the tubing into the cylinder and put the sodium bicarbonate into the side arm erlenmeyer flask. Put the other end of the tubing on the erlenmeyer flask. Quickly pour the acetic acid into the erlenmeyer flask and attach the stopper quickly. Make sure to mix the substances together to get the best results. Carbon dioxide has been
