Chapter 2 Essential Information

It is essential that you be able to convert between atoms/moles/grams/.
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms/molecules/ions
MW: 1 mole = molar weight, For example, 1 mole NaCl = 58.44g

Chapter 1 Hints

As you study Sections 1.8 through 1.14, you will develop skills that you will need to further understand chemistry. Do not just learn to go through the motions in a way to work a certain kind of question. Instead, keep in mind why you are approaching a problem in a particular way. Develop a reasoning strategy. Develop a plan on how to solve the problem. Then develop the detailed solution. look at a problem to determine what is being asked for and then develop your plan for solving the problem.
