Chapter 4, Problem 71

A mixture of A and B contains a total of 5.3 mols. Both A and B react with Z according to the following equations:

A + Z → AZ

B + 2Z → BZ2

The reaction of the mixture of A and B with Z consumes 7.8 mol Z. Assuming the reactions go to completion, how many moles of A does the mixture contain?
