Student correctly calculates the number of grams of KNO3 needed to prepare the solution. Solution:
- M = mol/L
- 1.5 M = mol/1 L
- Molecular weight of KNO3 is 39.10 + 14.01 + 16.00(3) = 101.11 g/mol
- 1.5 mol× 101.11 g KNO3 /mol = 151.7 g KNO3
- Shows all steps in the calculation.
- Labels all units.

Performance Assessment:
Hand out copies of The Mole: Student Worksheet (S-C-8_Performance Assessment Worksheet.doc) to use for both Parts 1 and 2.
Part 1: Measuring a Mole
Give each student a sample of copper, nickel, tin, aluminum, or silicon, and ask him/her to measure out a mole of the element. Provide student with a balance, a metric ruler, a periodic table, weighing paper, and a spatula to work with. Have the student measure out the mole, show you the mole as it sits on the balance, and then write a brief description of the method used. The description should include the steps used, the mass of a mole of the element, and the number of atoms in one mole of the substance. All units should be labeled.
Part 2: Preparing a Molar Solution
Have student prepare 500 milliliters of a 0.5 molar solution of sodium chloride (table salt). Provide student with a volumetric flask, sodium chloride, distilled water, a balance, and weighing paper. Have student prepare the solution, show it to you in the volumetric flask, and then write a brief description of the method used. The description should include the steps used, the amounts of sodium chloride and water used, and an explanation of how chemists use molarity in the laboratory. All units should be labeled.
