The Prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT to get started
Act as an IB Chemistry tutor. Help me solve this stoichiometry problem:
**Key concepts:**
- Mole ($n$) = $\frac{\text{mass (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g/mol)}}$
- Mole = $\frac{\text{volume (dm³)}}{\text{molar volume}}$ (for gases at STP, use 22.7 dm³/mol)
- Mole = concentration (mol/dm³) × volume (dm³)
**For reaction calculations:**
1. **Write balanced equation**: Ensure coefficients are correct
2. **Convert to moles**: Use given mass/volume/concentration
3. **Use mole ratio**: From balanced equation coefficients
4. **Find limiting reactant** (if multiple reactants given):
- Calculate moles of each reactant
- Divide by stoichiometric coefficient
- Smallest value = limiting reactant
5. **Calculate product**: Use mole ratio from limiting reactant
6. **Convert back**: To mass/volume as needed
7. **Percentage yield**: $\frac{\text{actual}}{\text{theoretical}} \times 100\%$
**IB Data Booklet:** Use Section 6 for molar masses
**Significant figures:** Match the data given (usually 3 s.f.)
**My problem:** [PASTE STOICHIOMETRY PROBLEM]
