Consider the generic chemical equation: 2 A + 3 B > 3 C

If 6 moles of A and 2 moles of B are reacted, what is the maximum number of moles of C that can be formed?

For this problem, you can see that a ratio exists between A, B, and C. Now you'll just have to find the constant k that satisfies this ratio using the proportional relationship formula.

After that, you can plug in the constant k to find the missing C value.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
