heres a math one If 3.0 moles of X and 5.0 moles of Y react according to the hypothetical reaction below, how many moles of the excess reactant will be left over at the end of the reaction? X + 2 Y “yields”/ XY2
3.0 +2(5.0) -> 3.0(5.0)_2
think of it like this : X + 2Y you need 2Y for every X
so i need 10.0y for every 3.0x?
suppose you need 1 icecream for every 2 questions you answer how many icecreams you will need to answer 5 questions ?
2.5 icecreams
yes, 2.5 icecreams would be sufficient, the excess is 0.5 icecreams
icecream = X questions = Y
huh .-. but you still have 2(5.0) so that does make 10? right?
the real question is this : I have 3 icecreams, and 5 questions with me. but you only charge 1 icecream to answer 2 questions
that means 0.5 icecream to answer 1 question so 0.5*5 icecreams to answer 5 quesitons
so that means 0.5 of x would be left over
you will get 0.5*5 = 2.5 icecreams for answering 5 questions, the extra 0.5 icecream will be left over
yes ! pardon for the cheap analogy lol
c: thank you i have more math questions if youd like to help
