Big Idea 1. All matter is composed of atoms.

Big Idea 3. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms and describe how matter changes.

This material will be covered very quickly in class. The intent of assigning this reading is to provide a brief review of relevant Honors Chemistry level material.

o Calculate formula weights.

Section 3.4: Avogadro’s Number and the Mole

o Convert grams to moles and vice versa using molar masses.

o Convert number of molecules to moles and vice versa using Avogadro’s number.

Section 3.5: Empirical Formulas from Analysis

o Calculate the empirical and molecular formulas of a compound from percentage composition and molecular weights.

Section 3.6: Quantitative Information from Balanced Equations

o Identify limiting reactants and calculate amounts, in grams or moles, of reactants consumed and products formed for a reaction.

Section 3.7: Limiting Reactants

o Calculate the percent yield of a reaction.
