1. Key Ideas

Given the mass of one substance, find the mass of another. This is the core calculation of all quantitative chemistry — the 4-step method converts mass to moles, applies the mole ratio, then converts back to mass. Apply it the same way every time.

The 4-step stoichiometry method — steps 1 to 4 in order
Why mass cannot be directly converted to mass without moles

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

The 4-step stoichiometry method — steps 1 to 4 in order
Mole ratio comes from coefficients of the balanced equation
All mass calculations pass through moles — no shortcuts

3. Key Terms

MoleThe SI unit for amount of substance; contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles.

Avogadro's Number6.022 × 10²³ — the number of particles in one mole of a substance.

Molar MassThe mass of one mole of a substance, measured in g/mol.

Limiting ReagentThe reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of product formed.

Empirical FormulaThe simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

Molecular FormulaThe actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.

6. Extend: Apply the Idea

Band 5/65 marks

A student gives a memorised answer about Mass–Mass Stoichiometry but does not use evidence or reasoning.

Improve the answer by writing a stronger response that uses accurate terminology, a relevant example and a clear explanation.

2. Which answer would show stronger understanding of Mass–Mass Stoichiometry?

A. An answer with accurate terms and reasoning

B. A copied definition only

C. A single-word response

D. An answer with no example

3. What should you do if a question asks you to explain?

A. Link the idea to a reason or cause
