Goal I. Use a balanced chemical equation to derive mass relationships among reaction components.

Preparation: Review and expand the skills of balancing chemical equations (pp. 103-106).

Objectives: To meet the requirements of Goal I, you must be able to:

  1. state the Law of Conservation of Matter as it applies to chemical reactions; (p. 44)
  1. use mole ratios derived from a balanced chemical equation to calculate quantitative relationships among the components of the reaction;
  1. explain limiting reagent and excess reagent as these terms apply to reactants in a chemical reaction; 
  1. identify limiting reagent and calculate the excess reagent (in moles or grams) in a balanced chemical reaction, given the quantities of two or more reactants (in moles or grams);
  1. distinguish between quantitative and non-quantitative reactions; between the main reaction and side reaction; 
  1. calculate the theoretical and percent yield, given quantities of one or more of the reactants.[Top] 
    1.  

Goal II. Relate the chemical formula for a compound to its composition by mass.

Objectives: To meet the requirements of Goal II, you must be able to:

  1. distinguish between the empirical formula and the molecular formula for a molecular compound;
  1. calculate calculate the empirical formula for a compound given its percent by mass composition;
  1. calculate the mass percent composition of a compound from its empirical or molecular formula;
  1. use the empirical formula together with the formula mass for a compound to derive its molecular formula.[Top]
Goal III. Interpret the various models used to represent molecular structures..

Objectives: To meet the requirements of Goal III, you must be able to:

  1. distinguish between the molecular, structural and condensed structural formula for a compound. [Top]
