Molar ratio

Molar ratio is a term used in Chemistry to describe the relationship between the amounts of molecules or atoms in a chemical reaction. It is a unitless number that can be used to determine the proportions of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The molar ratio is often used in stoichiometry, a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Definition

The molar ratio is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of one substance to the number of moles of another substance in a chemical reaction. It is a unitless number that can be used to determine the proportions of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Calculation

The molar ratio can be calculated by dividing the number of moles of one substance by the number of moles of another substance. This can be done using the molar mass of each substance, which is the mass of one mole of a substance.

Applications

The molar ratio is often used in stoichiometry to determine the proportions of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It can also be used to calculate the yield of a reaction, which is the amount of product produced in a chemical reaction.
