Study Notes

Chemical Composition

Chapter 6 examines quantities of substances in chemical reactions, heat absorbed/released during reactions, and solution volumes.
Calculations for these concepts are often similar.
Chapter 6.1 explores the importance of understanding composition in various natural contexts, such as determining the amount of sodium in a diet.
Chapter 6.2 illustrates "counting by weighing" by comparing the mass of nails in a box to determine the total number of nails.
Chapter 6.3 introduces Avogadro's number and the mole as units for counting atoms – a fundamental unit of 6.022 x 10^23 particles.
Chapter 6.4 covers counting molecules using the same principles as counting atoms.
Chapter 6.5 emphasizes the use of chemical formulas as tools for conversions between moles and atoms.
Chapter 6.6 details the method of calculating percent composition by mass.
Chapter 6.7 shows how to find percent composition from a chemical formula.
Chapter 6.8 explains how to determine empirical formulas.
Chapter 6.9 details the process of finding molecular formulas given molar mass and empirical formula.
