Overview
In this interactive chemistry course, you’ll take on the role of a materials specialist aboard a deep-space station and analyze samples of carbon, carbon dioxide, water, and glucose. Along the way, you’ll see how moles help chemists connect what can be measured in the lab to the number of particles in a sample.
Objectives
- Explain how the mole connects mass with the number of particles in a sample.
- Use the periodic table and chemical formulas to determine molar mass.
- Use molar mass and Avogadro’s number to convert grams to moles and moles to atoms or molecules.
