Session-Learning-Episode Chemistry

This document outlines a learning episode on calculating percentage composition and chemical formulas. It has three main objectives: 1) calculating percent composition from a chemical formula, 2) calculating an empirical formula from percent composition, and 3) calculating a molecular formula given molar mass. The content section explains how to determine percent composition of a compound and interpret chemical formulas. Examples are provided for calculating percent composition, empirical formulas, and molecular formulas. Learners are asked to calculate values for various compounds and identify the percent of sodium in different snack foods by analyzing food labels.
