Step 1 Assume a definite starting quantity (usually 100.0 g) of the compound, if not given, and express the mass of each element in grams.

Step 2 Convert the grams of each element into moles of each element using each element’s mole weight.

Page 71: 1. 2 The mass of a single atom is too small to measure on a balance. mass of hydrogen atom = 1.673 x 10 -24 g.

Step 3 Divide the moles of atoms of each element by the moles of atoms of the element that had the smallest value

– If the numbers obtained are whole numbers, use them as subscripts and write the empirical formula.

– If the numbers obtained are not whole numbers, go on to step 4.

Step 4 Multiply the values obtained in step 3 by the smallest numbers that will convert them to whole numbers

Use these whole numbers as the subscripts in the empirical formula.

• The results of calculations may differ from a whole number.

– If they differ ±0.1 round off to the next nearest whole number.

• The molecular formula can be calculated from the empirical formula if the mole weight is known.

• The molecular formula will be equal to the empirical formula or some multiple n of it.

• To determine the molecular formula evaluate n.

• n is the number of units of the empirical formula contained in the molecular formula.
