"I can" statements:

03-03 a.  Solve problems involving mass in grams, amount in moles and number of atoms in an element.

03-03 b. Explain how Avogadro's number is used in calculations.

Target 03-04 Apply the Laws of Definite Composition and multiple Proportions.

"I can" statements:

03-04 a.  Use the Law of Definite Composition.
