Percent composition and empirical formulas

Percent composition and empirical formulas. No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them. An example. You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. An example.

  1. Percent composition and empirical formulas No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them

  2. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.

  3. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. • Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms.

  4. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. • Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass: • Na=22.99g/mol • Cl=35.45g/mol

  5. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. • Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass: • %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100% • %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100%

  6. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. • Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass: • %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100% • %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100% FM of NaCl !

  7. An example. • You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each. • Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass: • %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100%=39.34% and • %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100%=60.66%

  8. Definition • % composition of a compound: • % A= mass A in the compound x 100% mass of the compound

  9. PS • All of the %’s add up to 100% • The %’s are constant, no matter how much of the substance! • (AKA: the law of definite proportions)

  10. Try it. • What is the percent composition of CaBr2?

  11. Try it. • What is the percent composition of CaBr2? (FM=199.88g/mol)

  12. Try it. • What is the percent composition of CaBr2? (FM=199.88g/mol) • %Ca=40.08g/199.88 g x 100% and • %Br=2 x 79.90g/199.88 g x 100%

  13. Try it. • What is the percent composition of CaBr2? (FM=199.88g/mol) • %Ca=40.08g/199.88 g x 100%=20.05% and • %Br=2 x 79.90g/199.88 g x 100%=79.95%
