Two chemicals, Z and X react completely to form a product, Y. If 8.7 grams of x react to produce 19.5 grams of Y, how many grams of Z must have reacted to form this much product?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Z= 10.8

Explanation:

The simple formula Z + X = Y can solve this problem. Since we are given that,

  • X= 8.7 Grams
  • Y= 19.5 Grams

Then we can just substitute the actually values for the letters.

Z + 8.7 = 19.5

From here, we can just do simple math to find the answer.

Z + 8.7 - 8.7 = 19.5 - 8.7

Z = 10.8

So, 10.8 grams of Z reacted to form the product.
