Question

there are 7.16 mol c and 13.9 mol h in the sample. divide by smallest: which substance should you divide by? dont need to divide carbon hydrogen

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the number of moles

We have \(n(C)=7.16\space mol\) and \(n(H) = 13.9\space mol\). Since \(7.16<13.9\), the smaller number of moles is for carbon.

Answer:

carbon
