Study Notes
Calculating Mass Changes
- Final mass is always less than initial mass if the solid loses mass.
- Percentage gain: (\frac{\text{mass change}}{\text{initial mass}} \times 100)
- Percentage loss: (\frac{\text{mass change}}{\text{initial mass}} \times 100)
Example of Percentage Change in Mass
- When copper carbonate is heated it decomposes into copper oxide and carbon dioxide.
- The mass change is calculated by subtracting the final mass from the initial mass.
- Percentage change is calculated using the formula: (\frac{mass change}{initial mass} \times 100).
Additional Problems & Learning Objectives
- Students can calculate percentage gain and loss as well as percentage change,
