100

What is a mole? 

 the mass of a substance that contains 6.023 x 1023 particles of the substance

100

What is Avogadro's number? 

6.023 x 10^23

100

If there are 3 moles of Na2, then how many grams are in Na3? 

1) Find MM of Na2 --> 23(2)

2) Multiply moles by molar mass 

                 = 138 

100

balance CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 +O2 

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2

200

What molar mass?

the mass of a mole of any substance 

200

What direction does the conversion diagram go in? 

mass ---> moles ---> particles

 

200

How many atoms of NaCl are in 11.2 grams of NaCl? 

1.15 x 10^23 

200

Balance Al + HCl --> AlCl3 + H2

2Al + 6HCl --> 2AlCl3 + 3H2

300
What is percent composition? 

percent by mass of each element in a compound 

300

How do you go from mass to moles?

Divide by the molar mass

300

How many moles are in 4.22 x 10^27  molecules of MgO?

7010 moles of MgO

300

KClO3 --> KClO4 + KCl 

4KClO3 --> 3KClO4 + KCl

400

How do you go from particles to mass 

Multiply by Avogadros number, and then divide by molar mass
