You can only calculate the empirical formula because you do not have a mass of this compound given. To do the empirical formula assume 100 grams and change percent to grams. Get moles. 80 grams Carbon (1 mole C/12.01 grams) = 6.66 moles C 20 grams hydrogen (1 mole H/1.008 grams) = 19.84 moles H the smallest becomes 1 in the empirical formula and the other number is divided by it, Thus; H/C 19.84 moles H/6.66 moles C = 2.9, which we call 3 so, CH3 --------------- is the empirical formula To get the molecular formula tour question needed to read; How to calculate molecular formula from such ans such mass of compound with these percentages of elements, Which, of course, your question did not provide. Then you would have divided that given mass by the mass total of the elements of the empirical formula, got a whole number by which you would have multiplied the numbers of your empirical formula to get molecular formula.
The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.
C3 h3o
Acetylene is C2H2 so its emperical formula is C1H1.
The empirical formula would be CaBr2 since it contains a ratio of 1 calcium to 2 bromine atoms.
what is the empirical formula for water H2O
Silver oxide is an ionic compound so its molecular and empirical formula is same Ag2O
It is an empirical formula.
Because an empirical formula is the simplest form of a compound, we know that the molecular formula contains more atoms than it does. Since we are given the molar mass, we can use this formula. x ( MM of empirical formula ) = MM of molecular formula MM of empirical formula = 12(2) + 1(6) + 16 = 46 MM of molecular formula = 138 46x = 138 x= 138 / 46 x=3 Therefore, the molecular formula is 3(C2H6O) that is C6H18O3
A formula unit is an empirical formula.
CH will be the empirical formula and C12H12 will be the molecular formula
It Has No Empirical Formula.
An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.
It has a molecular formula of C10H8 so that would make an empirical formula of C5H4.
In this instance, the empirical formula is the same as the formula unit: NaNO3
