Link Calculations to Lab Experiemnts

In the lab you can get students to weigh out quantities and react them and then do calculations for the yield, so they’re applying it. That’s the way in which they come to terms with what they’re actually doing and the molar basis for that. It’s about representing what’s going on, on a molecular basis. We handle things on a molar basis because they’re the amounts we can weigh, and it’s representative of what’s going on on the molecular scale. It’s just scaled up by 6 x 10²³.
