Chapter 3: Composition of Substances and Solutions

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

  • define mole and molar mass
  • perform calculations for deriving moles, mass, and number of atoms and molecules from each other using dimension analysis
  • compute the percent composition of a compound
  • determine the empirical and molecular formula of a compound from mass percentages
  • define molarity and calculate solution concentrations using molarity
  • perform dilution calculations using the dilution equation
