Chemistry PS1 7 Mole/Stoichionetry

Project Zero THINKING ROUTINES--see below

Phenomenon--

What is a mole? (What do you know now?)

Then watch the Mole intro video Ted Talk

Well, what more do you know about moles in Chemistry?

AND

Why do we need to know about moles?  How does it help us?

Moles in reactions

Mole calculations

​

HS-PS1-7 Matter and its Interactions
Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

THINKING ROUTINE

​

Choose an element.  What would one mole of that element look like?          [Hint: think molar mass of the element]

:

What do you see?

What do you think about that--why is it a mole?

What does it make you wonder?
