Using the Method of Continuous Variations to Determine the Mole Ratio between Reactants Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to find the molar ratio of NaClO and an unknown substance labeled solution “B”. Using the method of continuous variation the ratio of the two solutions were changed but kept equal to 50 mL. The reaction was an exothermic oxidation-reduction and the temperature change was measured to determine which ratio of NaClO to solution “B” was optimal. The ratio with the highest temperature
