2020-2021 CP Objectives of Mole Concept
Essential Question (EQ1): Are there any basic skills/theory?
The student should be able to:
1) Understand the Mole concept as a grouping method that allows chemists to mass out (Massing), count (number of base unit/particles) and/or to obtain the volume (for gases only @STP) of substance that one could not mass/count/volume individually.
2) Understand the Mole concept comes from the work of Guy-Lassiac and Avogardo's work on combining gases. In addition, the understanding that scientist understood the relative mass differences between elements but the Mole concept allows those relative difference be actual masses. Also, the updated or new definition of Atomic mass (molar mass).
One Step Mole Calculations
3) Correctly set-up and calculate One Step Mole Calculation Problems for massing of for elements using the class rule and the sig fig rules.
4) Have a general understanding of Molecular compounds (MC) and Ionic compounds (IC) including which elements come together to form MC or IC, what subcripts of chemical formulas mean and be able to calculate Molar masses of compounds.
5) Correctly set-up and calculate One Step Mole Calculations problems for massing compounds using molar mass calculation values.
