Hook:
How do you quantify pieces of matter around us?
What factor may influence your choice in quantifying
matter?
In real life situations, pieces of matter are quantified by
finding the mass or by counting. Market vendors for
example, would rather sell mongo seeds by getting the
mass and salted eggs by counting. The choice of
quantifying goods is determined by convenience. It is
easier to get the mass of rice grains rather than count the
grains. It is more convenient to count the number of eggs
rather than get their mass

In the laboratory, chemists seek to know the number of

small and too many to count individually so chemists use a
unit called mole to count them by weighing. Like a dozen, a
ream, or a case, a mole also represents a certain number
of particles.

food products available in the market are healthy or not ?
Food labels are required to describe the ingredients using
percent of the recommended daily allowance. (AKA
percentage composition)
Lesson Proper:
PERCENTAGE COMPOSTION
- is the percent by mass of each element in a compound
STEPS in calculating percent composition
Step 1: Determine the molar mass of each individual
component.
Step 2: Determine the molar mass of the entire compound
by adding the molar masses of each individual component.
Step 3: Divide the molar mass of each individual
component by the molar mass of the entire compound, then

multiply it by 100.
Sample Problem: Sucrose, C12H22O11, chemical name for
common table sugar, is extracted from sugar beets and
sugar cane and is widely used as a sweetener. Calculate the
percentage composition of sucrose.
Analyze a sample of food label.
Discuss how percentage composition is used to determine
the amount of macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates and
proteins) present in the food that we eat.
Learning activity:
Each group will be given different food products. Their
task is to calculate the percentage composition of fats,
carbohydrates and proteins in relation to the number of
calories present in their food products. After 5 minutes,
