What is the mole ratio needed to determine the mass of phosphorus trifluoride produced from the reaction of 120 g of phosphorus with excess fluorine?

Explanation:

Hello

In this case, given the reaction:

It means that since the coefficients preceding phosphorous and phosphorous trifluoride are 1 and 4, the correct mole ratio should be:

Because given the mass of phosphorous it is convenient to convert it to moles and then cancel it out with the moles on bottom of the mole ratio.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
