Calculating the mass of a substance using moles

Short (ok- maybe not so short) calculation questions involving moles. Make sure to keep rough paper, pens and a periodic table with you and good luck! <3

REMINDER OF STEPS IF HELP NEEDED:

1. Write the word equation

2. Write a balanced symbol equation

3. Calculate the mole of the mass given

(number of moles = mass of substance/atomic mass)

3. Using your balanced equation, find the atomic mass of the compunds you need

4. Using the atomic masses of the compunds you found and the moles, work out the mass of the compound asked in the question

(mass= number of moles x atomic mass of substance)
