The Mole and Mass

IQ2: 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)

● 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=𝑚𝑀𝑀 (n = chemical amount in moles, m = mass in grams, MM = molar mass in gmol-1)
