Interpretation:
The empirical formula and empirical formula mass for
Concept introduction:
An empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound.
Following are the steps to calculate the empirical formula mass of a compound.
Step 1: Determine the
Step 2: Divide the atom numbers of each element by a common factor to obtain the lowest whole number values. Write the lowest whole number value as the subscript of the element’s symbol to obtain the empirical formula for the compound.
Step 3: Add the molar mass of each element multiplied by its number of atoms present in the empirical formula to obtain the empirical formula mass for the compound.

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
