What unit is used to measure atomic mass?

• Kilograms

• Grams

• Moles

• Atomic mass units

Why is stoichiometry considered a crucial aspect of chemistry?

Why was carbon-12 chosen as the standard for atomic mass units?

• Because of its stable and common nature

• Because it reacts with many elements

• Because it is the lightest element

• Because it is the most abundant isotope

What does one mole of a substance contain?

• 6.022 x 10^23 atoms or molecules

• 12 grams of the substance

• 1 gram of the substance

• The same mass as one atom of carbon-12

What is Avogadro's number?

• The number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12

• The number of protons in carbon-12

• The mass of one mole of carbon-12 in grams

• The volume of one mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure

How is the molar mass of a compound calculated?

• By multiplying the atomic masses of its elements

• By subtracting the atomic masses of its elements

• By dividing the atomic mass by Avogadro's number

• By adding the atomic masses of its elements

What is the significance of balancing a chemical equation?

• To comply with the law of conservation of mass

• To speed up the reaction

• To ensure the reaction is possible

• To use less reactants
