ALEKS: Solving for a reactant using a chemical equation

[@smolworm2440]

Why don’t we use ethanol instead of acetic acid because it’s saying we need to find the mass OF ethanol not acetic acid?

[@MacyPooh196]

The way you show how to do it is way easier than how ALEKS explains it. They make it so much more difficult. Thank you!

[@RoxiHulet]

Happy to help!

[@2216courtney]

You are a life saver for how to do these!!!

[@versotomy]

you explain it so well and i yet do not understand lol maybe i need another career path. thank you for taking your time and explaining.

[@RoxiHulet]

Nooooooooo I hope you're joking!! Don't let a stupid homework problem change your whole life!

Same bro

[@Linda9982]

I think that we are looking for the mass of ethanol, not acetic acid.

[@RoxiHulet]

You're correct! I must have been looking at something else because I also said a wrong mass. Thanks for noticing :)
The method is the same regardless of what we are solving for, so hopefully this is still helpful.

@@RoxiHulet It is, thank you!

[@tiffanyfortner7916]

I was wondering the same

[@devpatel7154]

This helped a ton! Thank You!

Do you have a different video that shows how to balance these types of equations? All the problems I've gotten have started out with unbalanced equations.

[@RoxiHulet]

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for - let me know if this wasn't what you had in mind...
