Scientific formulae (Chemistry)

No items found.

This resource explores the use of mathematical formulae within a chemistry context. Students rearrange equations to solve for different variables, and demonstrate how to correctly substitute values (including units) to obtain meaningful results.

Learning outcomes

  • Describe terms relating to scientific formulae, and the relationship between variables.
  • Express formulae in various ways by rearranging the equations.
  • Solve equations by substituting values into them, accounting for units.
