Simplest formula calculations Q- 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 questionswillgivegramsrightoff, instead of %) Step 2:calculatethe#ofmoles(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.

Molecular formula calculations • There is one additional step to solving for a molecular formula. First you need the molar massofthecompound.E.g. inQ2,themolecular formula can be determined if we know that the molar mass of the compound is 150 g/mol. • First, determine molar mass of the simplest formula. For CH2O it is 30 g/mol (12+2+16). • Divide the molar mass of the compound by this to get a factor: 150 g/mol ¸ 30 g/mol = 5 • Multiply each subscript in the formula by this factor: C5H10O5 is the molecular formula. (models) Q- For OF, give the molecular formula if the compound is 70 g/mol O2F270 ¸ 35 = 2
