Unit 8: Chemical Quantities

Objectives:

  1. I know what a mole is and I can express the number of particles in mole.

  2. I know what molar mass is and I can determine it for both elements and compounds.

  3. I know the counting-by-weighing method and can use it to do mass-mole conversions.

  4. I know how to calculate mass percent from experimental data or from chemical formulas.

  5. I know the difference between empirical and molecular formulas.

  6. I know how to determine the empirical formula from mass data or from mass percent data.

  7. I know how to determine the molecular formula from an empirical formula and the molar mass.
