Molar Mass Bingo

Molar mass is dened as the mass of one mole of a substance. This game gives students practice at using information in the periodic table to calculate molar masses. Play the game in silence. Give each student a periodic table, calculator and paper for working out (if needed) before beginning the game. Ask the question: what is the molar mass of (insert name to be called out). Allow students time to think and calculate ask for a signal (such as palm face up on the desk) when they have nished the calculation. A student can ask for a hint on each question. The hint gives the formula of the substance in question. The rst winner is the rst person to cross out all of the numbers on their grid. What is the molar mass of (in g mol-1)?*
Question no.
