Content Standard 2:
Chemical Reactions

Objectives:

3. Chemical substances react in definite molar weight proportions.
4. Mass is conserved in chemical reactions (balancing reactions).

Time Range:
3rd Quarter; 6 weeks

Suggested Teaching Strategies:

• Balancing Equations (Stoichiometry) Unit
  1. How much can a reaction produce?
  2. How much does a reaction really produce?
  3. How can stoichiometry be used?

Aligned Resources:

• Core Lab 9: Understanding the Mole (a model using the average masses of 5 types of beans)
• Core Lab 10: Composition of Hydrates
• Core Lab 13: S'more Stoichiometry
• International Mole Day is 10/23 - this is a good time to concentrate on the mole
• Other possible labs or activities: Limiting and Excess Reactants Lab
