A chemist would not think that a compound should be measured in milliters.
\n" ); document.write( "A chemist would know that if you mix 4.00 mL of a liquid and 7.00 mL of another,
\n" ); document.write( "you do not get exactly 11.00 mL of liquid.
\n" ); document.write( "A chemist would also know that if you try to react 4 grams of one compound and 7 grams of another compound,
\n" ); document.write( "there is likely to be leftover unreacted compounds, and impurities resulting from unwanted reactions.
\n" ); document.write( "Besides, it usually takes several reactions to make a drug, with pilurifications of the intermediate compounds formed along the way.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming that 7 mL of compound A fully reacted with 4 mL of compound B, to yield 4+7=11 mL of compound C,
\n" ); document.write( "the ratio of volume of compound C produced to volume of compound A used would be
\n" ); document.write( "\"11%2F7\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Using 553 mL of compound A would result in the production of
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2811%2F7%29%2A%28553mL%29=869mL\" of compound C.
