General Objectives:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the moles as the unit for comparison of amounts of matter
Specific Objectives: Students will be able to
1.Calcuate percentage composition of elements in given compounds
2. Use moles to balance chemical equations
3. Use equations to do calculations with moles and mass
Lesson connections to previously learned material:
Students will use their knowledge of moles and mass to do calculations with moles and equations
Introduction
Write the chemical formulas for water and
hydrogen peroxide on the board and ask
students to determine the composition of
hydrogen and oxygen in each compound.
New Material
Percentage composition is determine by the
total mass of each element in one mole a given
compound. For example: The % composition of
Oxygen in water:

Chemistry for CSEC textbook

Molar mass of Water (H2O) = 18gmol-1.


% O = (16/18) x 100% = 88.9 %
New Material
In a balanced chemical equation, it is important
to think of the equation in terms of the atoms or
ions of each element. For example, in the
simple reaction between hydrogen and oxygen
to make water. E.g.
2H2(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2H2O(g)
2 molecules of H2 react with 1 molecule of O2
to form molecules of H2O.
New Material

Properly balancing equations is important to


determine things like the mass of products to
prepare, the number of moles of reactants to use
etc. For example :
What mass of MgCl2 can be prepared from 24g
mole of Mg?

Textbook

Mg(s) + Cl2(g) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)


24 g of Mg = 1 mole
Therefore since 1 mole Mg produced 1 mole
MgCl2 determine the mass of 1 mole MgCl2.
M(MgCl2) = 24 + (2 x 35.5) = 95gmol-1
Therefore 24g of Mg will produce 95g of
MgCl2.
Lesson Recap : Students will balance chemical equations and do calculations with equations and moles and
mass.
Homework given: Students will be given worksheet to balance equations. Students will also complete worksheet
with calculations with moles and mass. Students will also be asked to read about moles and concentration.
