I'm a sophomore in high school, Im taking honor chemistry and I have a test tomorrow on mole conversions, molar mass, percent composition and empirical formulas worth 20% of my term grade. I have been up all night trying to find a video with some value that might just give me that "ah ha" moment. I have finally stumbled upon that video. Thanks so much!
