Empirical Formula
An Empirical formula gives the lowest whole number MOLE ratio between the atoms in a compound.
The Math
A compound contains 0.900 grams of calcium and 1.60 grams of chlorine.
Find its empirical formula.
The Math
A compound is analyzed and found to consist of 36.0 % aluminum and 64.2 % sulfur.
Find its empirical formula.
You Try
What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 66.0 % Ca and 34.0 % P?
Molecular Formula
A Molecular formula gives the actual ratio between the atoms in a compound.
For Ionic compounds, the empirical and molecular formulas are the same.
Molecular Formula
For molecular compounds, the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical.
Example:C6H6 is benzene. What is
benzene’s empirical formula?
The Math
A compound contains 31.10 grams of carbon and 7.872 grams of hydrogen.
Find its empirical formula.
Molecular formula
Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. It has a percentage composition of 40.9 % carbon, 4.58 % hydrogen, and 54.5 % oxygen with a molecular mass of 176.1 u.
Find its empirical and molecular formulae.
Review Molecular formula
