Subtopics
1
Conservation of Mass and Balanced Equations
Explain the law of conservation of mass and balance symbol equations.
2
Relative Formula Mass
Calculate relative formula mass (Mr) from relative atomic masses and use it in calculations.
3
Mass Changes in Reactions
Explain why the measured mass sometimes appears to change in a reaction and predict mass changes.
4
Chemical Measurements
Describe the importance of precise measurements in chemistry and sources of uncertainty.
5
Concentration of Solutions
Define concentration and calculate it from mass and volume.
6
Moles
Define the mole, use the Avogadro constant and calculate moles from mass and Mr.
7
Amounts of Substances in Equations
Use balanced equations and moles to calculate masses of reactants and products.
8
