Teaching and response guide

  1. Begin with: What is the H₂:O₂ mole ratio?
  2. Connect the response to: With enough oxygen, how many moles of H₂O form from 4 moles of H₂?
  3. Ask students to apply the idea: How many moles of H₂O can that mixture form?

Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
