Find a compound's formula from its percentage composition, work out how much of each substance a reaction needs and makes, find the limiting reagent, and express the strength of a solution.
Five laws of chemical combination led Dalton to the atom. Use them, find atomic and molecular masses, and meet the mole: the chemist's way of counting particles by weighing them.
A chemist cannot count atoms one by one, because there are too many of them. In this course we find the mass of a molecule, and we learn the mole, which lets us count a very large number of particles by weighing.
How many atoms are in a gram of carbon dioxide? Why do of hydrogen and of oxygen hold exactly the same number of atoms? How long would it take to count the molecules in one drop of water? In this workshop you learn two strategies, and then you solve problems that are a step harder than the chapter, with Python to check your work.
