3.1 Mass-Mass Relationship
It relates the mass of a species (reactant or product) with the mass of another species (reactants or product)

Let us consider a chemical reaction,
\[2NaHC{O_{3(s)}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }N{a_2}C{O_{3(s)}} + {\text{ }}{H_2}O{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}C{O_{2(g)}}\]
Suppose the mass of $NaHC{O_3}$ being heated is $‘a’$ gram and we want to calculate the weight of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$ being produced by heating of $‘a’$ gram of $NaHC{O_3}$.

The moles of $NaHC{O_3}$ $ = \frac{a}{{84}}$

According to the above balanced equation $2$ moles of $NaHC{O_3}$ upon heating gives $1$ mole of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$. So,

The no. of moles of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$ produced $ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{a}{{84}}$

Thus, wt. of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$ produced = moles of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$$ \times $ Molecular weight of $N{a_2}C{O_3}$
$$ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{a}{{84}} \times 106 = \frac{{53a}}{{84}}gms$$
