Accepted Answer

Welcome back everyone. The diagram below represents the reaction X two plus three moles of Y two to form two xy three, determine the number of moles of product that can form from moles of X two and 22 moles of Y. To notice that the reaction were given in the prompt is a balanced reaction. And we can use the ratios between our reactant and products as Tokyo metric conversion factors to get to our final answer for part one and two of our prompt beginning with part one of our prompt. We need to find our moles of our product XY 3 to 4 that are formed from two moles of X to our reactant. So we have beginning with two moles of X two. We're going to multiply by the ratio between moles of X to our reactant, two moles of xy three. Sorry, it's X capital Y three sub three, which is our product. We can see from our balanced equation that we have a ratio between for every one mole of X two reacted. We have two moles of XY three produced. So canceling out moles of X two were left with moles of our product xy three produced. And this is going to equal a total of four moles of product Xy three produced or we can say formed. So for part two, we're going to follow the same process where we begin now with two moles of Y to our second reactant. And we're going to multiply by the stoke geometric ratio between moles of Y two and our denominator two moles of our product X Y sub three in our numerator where from our balanced equation, we see that for every three moles of why to react reacted, we form two moles of xy three product. So canceling out moles of Y two, our reactant, we're left with moles of xy three, our product. And this is going to simplify to 1.3, 3 Moles of XY three that is formed Which we can just round two, two sig figs as 1.3 moles of xy three and sorry, just so this is visible, we'll move this over. So our final answers are our two moles of our product xy three that is formed from parts one and two of our prompt. And this will correspond to choice a in the multiple choice as the correct answer. So I hope that this made sense and let us know if you have any questions
