Mole to Mole Ratio

What is a mole ratio?

• An animal that burrows underground.

• How many moles of reactant are used up in a chemical reaction.

• The ratio of a reactant / product to a different one - compared by the number of particles.

• The process by which we multiply fractions by using numbers from a chemistry problem.
