of something is 6.02 × 10²³ of it. The mass of a mole of a substance is its relative mass expressed in grams.

is a piece of equipment that is designed for a particular use.

is the ability to change between units of measurement.

refers to how close a measured value is to the true or standard value.

is the range of measurements within which the true value can be expected to be found. On apparatus, it is half the value of one resolution marking.

Gas volumes

Converting between mass and volume using moles

In the Making salts unit, pupils will learn about the production of pure salts, concentration and strength of acids, and what makes acids acidic and how bases can neutralise them.

In the Understanding Chemical Reactions unit, pupils learned about how atoms rearrange during chemical reactions and the conservation of mass.

This unit covers writing chemical formulae, balancing equations, and using the conservation of mass. It includes calculating moles, empirical formulae, relative formula masses, and theoretical yields. Emphasis is on stoichiometry, concentration, gas volumes, and using standard form.
