Molar Mass, Percent Composition,

Empirical and Molecular Formulae
Inquiry question: How are measurements made in chemistry?

Students:

conduct a practical investigation to demonstrate and calculate the molar mass (mass of one mole) of:
an element
a compound (ACSCH046)
conduct an investigation to determine that chemicals react in simple whole number ratios by moles
explore the concept of the mole and relate this to Avogadro’s constant to describe, calculate and
manipulate masses, chemical amounts and numbers of particles in: (ACSCH007, ACSCH039)
moles of elements and compounds (n = chemical amount in moles, m = mass in grams, MM = molar
mass in gmol-1)
percentage composition calculations and empirical formulae
limiting reagent reactions
