Chemistry 11-14-13 Percent Composition

CHEMISTRY: Great job today… although, it was kind of weird watching you chew gum in class!

Lab reports are due Saturday midnight – to be saved to your Google Dropbox as a PDF. Double check your calculations, sig figs, etc. Remember you are finding the percent of SUGAR in gum, so that means the mass of what goes on top? Show all your data – everything you measured, and everything you calculated. And don’t forget the conclusion!

BTW – I think you’ll find that percent composition problems are really easy to catch on to. Make sure, though, you can write chemical formulas (I won’t give them to you!) and that you’ve memorized the formulas for acids and those chemical names for common substances so that you’ll have something to find the percent composition of!

  1. It was nice to be able to chew gum in the name of science and find the percent composition of the sugar in the gum by dissolving the sugar in our mouths.
