Practice Problems (Mixed Stoichiometry) To tell which equation process to use, look to the units on your fact and unknown. If your fact is in grams (mass) and the unknown is to be moles, then it is a mass to mole problem. If your fact is in mole, and the unknown is to be mole, then it is a mole to mole problem. Again, your units will let you know which process to use. 1. Ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4, a common fertilizer, is made from reacting phosphoric acid, H 3 PO 4, with ammonia, NH 3.
