Raptor123a Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 If you are given the information that the ratio is 5:1 (or determine it from an equation) then you treat 5 as an integer which does not affect the signficiant digits of your answer. Hence you would get 0.00176 moles. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
