This chemistry course provides a clear and structured introduction to core quantitative concepts in chemistry. It begins with molecular mass and formula mass, helping learners understand how chemical formulas are used to calculate the mass of compounds. The course then explains Avogadro’s number and the mole concept in a simple and logical way, building the foundation for all later chemical calculations.
Learners will study percent composition and empirical formulas, learning how to determine the simplest chemical formulas from experimental data. A major part of the course focuses on writing and balancing chemical equations, explaining the laws behind chemical reactions and how to balance them accurately.
The course then moves into reaction stoichiometry, where learners calculate reactants and products using balanced equations. Important topics such as limiting reactants and percent yield are covered to help learners understand real laboratory and industrial reactions where resources are limited and yields are not always perfect.
This course is ideal for high school and early college students, science beginners, and anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of basic chemistry calculations. It builds strong problem-solving skills and prepares learners for advanced topics in chemistry.
