  8. An Example: #1 A compound was found to be composed of 38.7 g C, 9.68 g H and 51.6 g O. Calculate the empirical formula. Steps To Solve: 1.Change the grams to moles of each element.2. Simplify the mole ratio to a whole # by dividing by the smallest # of moles. 3. Write the empirical formula.

  9. 1. Change the grams to moles. 38.7 g C x 1 mole 12.0 g

  10. 1. Change the grams to moles. 38.7 g C x 1 mole 12.0 g 9.68 g H x 1 mole 1.01 g

  18. #2. a compound is found to contain the following % by mass: 69.58% Ba, 6.090% C, 24.32% O. What is the simplest (i.e. empirical) formula? Step 1: imagine that you have 100 g of the substance. Thus, % will become mass in grams. E.g. 69.58 % Ba becomes 69.58 g Ba. (Some questions will give grams right off, instead of %) Step 2: calculate the # of moles (mol = g /( g/mol) Step 3: express moles as the simplest ratio by dividing through by the lowest number. Step 4: write the simplest formula from mol ratios
