Learning Outcomes

Synthesis reactions are those in which atoms or molecules combine to form a new compound. Decomposition is the reverse of synthesis, a process whereby molecules are decomposed, often by the use of heat. ( EK 3.B.1)

Quantitative information can be derived from stoichiometric calculations that utilize the mole ratios from the balanced chemical equations. The role of stoichiometry in real world applications is important to note, so that it does not seem to be simply an exercise done only by chemists. (EK 3.A.2)

            Students will be able to design a plan in order to collect data on the synthesis of a compound to confirm the conservation of matter and the law of definite proportions. (LO 3.5)

            Students will be able to use data from synthesis of a compound to confirm the conservation of matter and the law of definite proportions. (LO 3.6)
