• If you have a box containing 100 golf balls and 100 ping
pong balls, which type of ball contributes the most to
the mass of the box?
• The same principle applies to finding the % composition

AnswersQ - Write simplest formulas for propene (C3H6),
C2H2, glucose (C6H12O6), octane (C8H14)Q - Identify these as simplest formula, molecular
formula, or both H2O, C4H10, CH, NaCl
A - CH2
A - H2O is both simplest and molecular
C4H10 is molecular (C2H5 would be simplest)
CH is simplest (not molecular since CH cannot form a molecule - recall Lewis diagrams)NaCl is simplest (It is ionic, thus it does not form molecules; it has no molecular formula)
CH CH2O C4H7
Empirical Formulas
Calculations to find the simplest formula incorporate this rhyme:• % to mass• Mass to mole• Divide by small• Multiply till whole
A chart form may help to organize work

If any result from Step 3 is a mixed number, you must multiply ALL values by some number to make it a whole number. Ex: 1.33 x 3, 2.25 x 4, 2.50 x 2, etc.
Formulas for CompoundsEmpirical Formula• Smallest possible set of subscript numbers• Smallest whole number ratio• All ionic compounds are given as empirical formulasMolecular Formulas• The actual formulas of molecules• It shows all of the atoms present in a molecule• It may be the same as the EF or a whole- number
multiple of its EF
Molecular formula = n х Empirical formula
Relating Empirical and Molecular Formulas
n represents a whole number multiplier from 1 to as large as necessary
Calculate the empirical formula and the mass of the empirical formulaDivide the given molecular mass by the calculated empirical massAnswer is a whole number multiplier
