1.3e use chemical equations to calculate reacting masses and vice versa using the concepts of amount of substance and molar mass AND 1.3f use chemical equations to calculate volumes of gases and vice versa using the concepts of amount of substance and molar volume of gases, eg calculation of the mass or volume of CO2 produced by combustion of a hydrocarbon (given a molar volume for the gas)

You should know how to calculate reacting masses using this equation. For example:
What mass of magnesium oxide would be produced from 16g of magnesium in the reaction between magnesium and oxygen?
The equation is 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
You know that you have 16g of magnesium, so you can use this to calculate the moles of magnesium.
Moles = mass/RAM = 16g/24 gmol-1 = 0.67 moles
Next, you find out the ratio:
Mg : MgO, 2 : 2, 1:1, therefore both have 0.67 moles.
Therefore, the mass of MgO can be calculated with moles x RAM
Mass = moles x RAM = 0.67 x (24+16) = 26.67g
With the same question, you should be able to calculate the volume of O2 required. 
You already know how many moles of Mg you have (0.67 moles).
However, the ratio is different as you are trying to work out volume of oxygen, not magnesium oxide. Therefore, the ratio of Mg : O is 2 : 1, so the amount of moles of oxygen is half of 0.67, 0.034.
1 mole of a gas is 24dm3, so to work out the volume of oxygen, you have to do 0.034 x 24dm3, which equals 0.804dm3.

    1. C6H12O6 --> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

      If you look at the equation, C2H5OH has a "2" in front, indicating the amount of that substance. I always remember it as "2 lots of [compound]". Then if you look at C6H12O6, you can see that there is no number in front of it, meaning that there is only "1 lot" of it. Therefore, C6H12O6 : 2C2H5OH is 1:2.
      Hope I helped :)
