If you want to brush up on your stoichiometry and mole calculations, have a look at the Bridging Course notes, particularly topics 6, 7, 8 & 9. There are explanations of terms, examples, questions and full worked answers there. The ChemCAL on-line module on stoichiometry is also useful (username: 1108 password: helium).

Another useful resource of stoichiometry questions and explanations is the workshop W1 in the lab manual. Here are the full worked answers for the workshop and the post-work for the workshop.
