On completion of the unit you should be able to:
1. write the number of particles in a mole.
2. calculate the formula (or molecular) mass of compounds.
3. solve problems involving conversions between the mass, the number of moles, the number of formula units and the volume (for gaseous substances at standard temperature and pressure).
4. given the formula of a compound calculate the percent composition.
5. given the composition of a compound calculate the empirical formula.
6. given the composition and molecular mass of a molecular compound calculate the molecular formula.
7. express solution concentration in moles/liter.
8. do calculations involving solutions which have concentrations expressed in moles/liter.
9. solve dilution calculation.
