(8) Science concepts. The student can quantify the changes that occur during chemical reactions. The student is expected to:

  • (A) define and use the concept of a mole; 
  • (B) calculate the number of atoms or molecules in a sample of material using Avogadro's number ; 
  • (C) calculate percent composition of compounds ; 
  • (D) differentiate between empirical and molecular formulas; 
  • (E) write and balance chemical equations using the law of conservation of mass ; 
  • (F) differentiate among double replacement reactions, including acid-base reactions and precipitation reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions such as synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and combustion reactions; 
  • (G) perform stoichiometric calculations, including determination of mass and gas volume relationships between reactants and products and percent yield ; and 
  • (H) describe the concept of limiting reactants in a balanced chemical equation.
