2. Inquiry Question:

Why is Avogadro's number fundamental in chemistry?

3. Inquiry Question:

How do chemists use the mole concept to balance chemical equations?

Student Outcomes:

Students will be able to explain the concept of a mole and its use in chemical equations.

2. Student Outcomes:

Students can calculate chemical quantities using Avogadro's number.

3. Student Outcomes:

Students can apply the mole concept to solve stoichiometry problems.

Skills Demonstrated:

Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties

Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.

Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.

Standards:

NGSS & NSTA Safety Standards

HS-PS Matter & Energy

HS-PS1-1: Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

HS-PS1-7: Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
