molecular formula Empirical formula
The formula that describes The formula that describe the
the actual numbers and simplest ratio between the
atoms of the elements forming
types of atoms or ions
the compound molecules
forming the molecules
C3H6 CH2
1. Example: The formula of Propylene is C3H6
its mass = 42 gram/mole
If we divided both numbers 3
o The empirical formula will be CH2
o its = 14 gram/mole
Mass of empirical formula x its no. in
molecular f. = 14 x 3 = 42
Mass percentage: the number of units from the particle for
each 100 unit of all.
The mass percent of a substance =
the mass (or the mole) the substance
100
the mass of (or the mole) the compound
1.85 4.63
Ratio of moles 1.85
=1
1.85
= 2.5
To obtain whole number multiply by 2
Ratio of moles will be 2 5
Empirical formula is N2O5
1) Calculate its molecular formula of acetic acid of weight 60 gm
contains 40% carbon, 6.67% hydrogen and oxygen 53.33%
(C=12, O=16, H=1).
