Watch a step-by-step example to understand the process involved in mass-to-mass stoichiometry. Learn to convert between the masses of reactants and products using balanced equations and molar masses. Additionally, learn how to determine the limiting reactant to accurately predict the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction.
The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume). No gas is truly ideal, but the ideal gas law does provide a good approximation of real gas behavior under many conditions.
