Finding the mass of CaH₂ needed to fill a 4.5 L balloon at 20 °C and 0.8 atm chains PV = nRT (solve for moles H₂) to the 2:1 mole ratio from the balanced equation to a mass — three linked model-and-solve steps performed in sequence, the same layered word-problem skill as a multi-step mixture question, where inverting the mole ratio halves or doubles the answer.
