A mole ratio is the ratio of the moles to moles. One amount of a compound may have 3 moles while a different amount may have 1 mol. Therefore the ratio is 3:1. This ratio is important when determining the amount of substance there is in a substance.

Its the ratio of the moles to moles. 3 moles is in the all one amounts. Therefore the ratio is 3:1. This ratio is important when determining the amount of substance there is in a substance.

The mole ratio is a number of moles to moles. The ratio is used to see how much substance is in a substance. It has a 1:3 ratio

A mole ratio is the ratio of mole to a mole. The actual ratio is 3:1. It is important when finding the amout of substance when there is in a substance.

Mole ratio is the moles to moles. This ratio is used to know how much substance is in a substance.

A mole ratio is the ratio of the elements. It's used to see how much of one substance is in a compound. It should be simplified to the lowest ratio.

A mole ratio is the ratio of moles. THe ratio could be 1:3 or 1:5.

The ratio is the number of moles to moles. This helps to determine the amount of subtances that there are in a substance. The ratio is usually 3:1.

the ratio for moles is 3:1. This the ratio because one amount of a compound may have 3 moles while a differnet amount has 1 mol. This is important because you need this ratio to figure out how much of an element is in a substance.

A mole is a rati to teh mols to a mole. The ratio for the moles is 3:1. It is very important.

A mole ratio is the ratio of moles to moles. The ratio of this is 3:1. THis is important in finding the amount of a substance in the compound.

A mole ratio is the ratio of moles to moles, just like Aaron said. Different compounds have different amounts of moles. One compound might be five moles and the other compound might be two, giving it a ratio of 5:2. It's an easier way to state the amounts of compounds in substances.

It is the ratio of moles to moles. One amount may have 4 moles and another 1 mole. THe ratio is then 4 to 1.

tara said...

A mole ratio is when the ratio is moles to moles. The ratio can be used to see how much each substance has. The real ratio is actually 3:1.

A mole ratio is the "moles to moles" ratio. This helps figure out the amount of substance there is in a substance. Like if one thing had 5 moles and one thing had 2 it be a 5:2 ratio.

A mole ratio is a ratio between the numbers of moles of any two substances in a balanced chemical equation. Because then you know how much more there is of one thing than the other.
