Emperical/ Molecular HW Packet Name Period__ Determining Empirical Formulas Use the following steps to calculate the empirical formulas: « Convert percent composition to mass composition. 2. Convert mass composition to moles. 3. Divide each number of moles by the smallest number of moles. 4. For the answer .5 — multiply subscripts by 2. For the answer .3 — multiply subscripts by 3. 1. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 75% Carbon, 25% Hydrogen? 2. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 52.7 % Potassium, 47.3% Chlorine? 3. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 13% Magnesium, 87% Bromine? 4, What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 32.4% Sodium, 22.5% Sulfur, 45.1% Oxygen?Empirical Formula WS Name. _Per__ bate. DO this assignment ON A SEPARATE PAGE if you need more room. (Show all work with units. Keep it readable and neat.) Determine the empirical formula of each compound: STEPS 1) (Change the % symbol to "grams"... Convert each “given" to moles. (Keep the some # of digits as the given! 2) Divide all moles found instep 1 by the smallest # moles in that set of givens. 3) Do the numbers make a “whole number ratio"-if so, these numbers are the subscripts _Yes: Write the symbols in the same order as the given and include the subscript for each element. _No: Is there a decimal (represents a fraction). If the decimal for one of the answers to step 2 is close to 0.5, multiply all elements by *2" If the decimal is close to 0.3, multiply all by "3". We will not deal with other possibilities 4) Circle your formula answer! 1. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 90.09% ¢ and 119.91% 0? 2. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 86.06% Cl, 19.39% O, and 14.54% C? 3, What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 83.91% Iron and 36.08% Oxygen? 4, What is the empirical formula of a compound that is comprised of 11,2 % Hydrogen and 88.8 %Oxygen? Calculate the empirical formula of each compound with the following percent composition. 5.

Use the following steps to determine the molecular formula: 4. Calculate molar mass of empirical formula, 2. Divide molar mass (molecular mass) by empirical formula mass. 3. Rewrite formula with multiplier. 1. What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is P2Os and has a formula mass of 283.9 g/mole? 2. What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is NH2 and has a formula mass of 32 g/mole? 3. What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CsHsOz and has a formula mass of 146 g/mole? 4. What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CH2O and has a formula mass of 120 g/mole? 5. What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CHC! and has a formula mass of 181.5 g/mole? 6. Whats the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is NOz and has a formula mass of 91.08 g/mole?EMPIRICAL AND MOLECULAR FORMULAS The empirical formula of a chemical compound indicates the simplest whole number ratio of the different kinds of atoms that make up that compound. A molecular formula indicates the exact number of each type of atom that makes up a particular compound. Often, compounds ‘may share the same empirical formula but have different molecular formulas because they have different multiples of the empirical formula. Circle the formulas below which are empirical formulas (remember —you are looking for compounds with the simplest whole number ratio of atoms). Cols KMn0x Hay CoHs NaS203 HyPOx CaCh, H202 Patio Al2Os CoH20s — Catlio Since a molecular formula expresses the exact number of each kind of atom in a compound, each formula you did not circle above should be a molecular formula, On the lines below, write each of the molecular formulas and next to it, write its corresponding empirical formula:y
