This document provides a series of chemistry problems involving balancing equations, calculating formula weights, determining percentages of elements in compounds, relating the mole concept to Avogadro's number and molar mass, and performing stoichiometric calculations using moles, masses, and numbers of atoms/molecules. Students are asked to balance equations, calculate formula weights, determine percentages of elements in compounds, define key concepts like the mole and Avogadro's number, calculate molar masses and masses given moles or numbers of particles, and solve multi-step stoichiometry problems involving moles, masses, and numbers of atoms/molecules.
