STOICHIOMETRY UNIT 1 LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of this unit students will be expected to: THE MOLE AND MOLAR MASS • define molar mass and perform mole-mass inter-conversions for pure substances • explain how a major scientific milestone, the mole, changed chemistry CALCULATIONS AND CHEMICAL EQUATIONS • identify mole ratios of reactants and products from balanced chemical equations • identify practical problems that involve technology where equations were used • state a prediction and a hypothesis based on available evidence and background information • perform stoichiometric calculations related to chemical equations STOICHIOMETRIC EXPERIMENTATION • design stoichiometric experiments identifying and controlling major variables • use instruments effectively and accurately for collecting data • identify and explain sources of error and uncertainty in measurement using precision and accuracy • communicate questions, ideas, and intentions, and receive, interpret, understand, support, and respond to the ideas of others • identify various constraints that result in trade-offs during the development and improvement of technologies APPLICATIONS OF STOICHIOMETRY • identify various stoichiometric applications • predict how the yield of a particular chemical process can be maximized • explain how data support or refute the hypotheses or prediction of chemical reactions • compare processes used in science with those used in technology • analyse society's influence on science and technology UNIT 1 To overcome the problem of dealing with N NTRODUCTION TO A I extremely large numbers of particles, chemists use STOICHIOMETRY the mole concept. A mole is an amount (quantity) LESSON 1 of matter that contains 6.02 × 1023 particles of that matter. Depending on the make-up of matter, the How does a chemist count out 3.25 × 1023 atoms particles could be atoms, molecules, ions, or of the element sodium, Na? In industry, when formula units.
