Chapter 7.5, Problem 7.12P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The empirical formula and molecular formula of a compound has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Empirical Formula:

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound.  It can be the same as the compound’s molecular formula but not always.  An empirical formula can be calculated from information about the mass of each element in a compound or from the percentage composition.

The steps for determining the empirical formula of a compound as follows:

  • Obtain the mass of each element present in grams.
  • Determine the number of moles of each atom present.
  • Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles.
  • Convert the numbers to whole numbers.  The set of whole numbers are the subscripts in the empirical formula.

Molecular formula:

The molecular formula is the expression of the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound if the molar mass value is known the molecular formula is calculated by the empirical formula.
