Mole Ratio

Real World Example

Imagine you're preparing a batch of cookies and the recipe specifies you need 2 cups of flour for every 1 cup of sugar. This is similar to a chemical equation where substances react in specific ratios, much like ingredients in a recipe. Just as the recipe dictates the exact proportion of flour to sugar needed to get the perfect cookie, a balanced chemical equation tells you the precise ratio of moles of one substance to another needed for a reaction, ensuring everything combines correctly without leftovers.
