Moles and reacting masses

Free ESAT Chemistry lesson. Worked examples, common mistakes and a self-check.

What the lesson covers

  • Relative atomic mass and relative formula mass (C4.1)
  • The mole and the Avogadro constant (C4.2)
  • Moles from mass (C4.3)
  • Percentage composition by mass (C4.4)
  • Empirical and molecular formulae (C4.5)
  • Reacting masses and limiting reactants (C4.6)
  • Finding an equation from masses or gas volumes (C4.7)
  • Self-check questions with answers (8)

Specification: C4.1-4.7. Codes follow the UAT-UK ESAT content specification.

How to use it

  1. Read a section, then cover the worked example and try it yourself.
  2. Check the common mistakes list: these are the slips the real test is built to catch.
  3. Do the self-check without looking back. Mark it against the answers.
  4. Then practise the topic under time, with the matching practice set.
