Solution
The conversion factor needed to convert between grams and moles is the
molar mass. First we need to calculate the molar mass of CH4, following
the procedure in Example 3.5:
molar mass of CH4 = 12.01 g + 4(1.008
g)
=16.04 g
Because
1 mol CH4 = 16.04 g CH4

Example 3.7 3
Solution
To calculate the number of H atoms, we first must convert grams
of urea to moles of urea using the molar mass of urea. This part is
similar to Example 3.2.
The molecular formula of urea shows there are four moles of H
atoms in one mole of urea molecule, so the mole ratio is 4:1.
Finally, knowing the number of moles of H atoms, we can
calculate the number of H atoms using Avogadro’s number. We
need two conversion factors: molar mass and Avogadro’s number.

If we have 100 g of ascorbic acid, then each percentage can be converted
directly to grams. In this sample, there will be 40.92 g of C, 4.58 g of H, and
54.50 g of O. Because the subscripts in the formula represent a mole ratio, we
need to convert the grams of each element to moles. The conversion factor
needed is the molar mass of each element. Let n represent the number of moles
of each element so that.

Thus we arrive at the formula C3.407H4.54O3.406,
which gives the identity and the mole ratios of atoms present.
However, chemical formulas are written with whole numbers.
Try to convert to whole numbers by dividing all the subscripts by
the smallest subscript (3.406):
3.407 4.54 3.406
C: 1H : 1.33 O : 1
3.406 3.406 3.406
where
the

This gives CH1.33O as the formula for ascorbic acid. Next, we need to
convert 1.33, the subscript for H, into an integer.

a. Neither is limiting because equal amounts (4.0 mol) of
each reactant are used
b. A is limiting because 2 is smaller than 3 (the coefficients in
the balanced equation)
c. A is limiting because 2 mol is available but 4.0 mol is
needed
d. B is limiting because 3 is larger than 2 (the coefficients in
the balanced equation)
e. B is limiting because 4.0 mol is available but 6.0 mol is
needed
