KCrO mass (in grams) molar mass (in gmol -1 ) number of moles 6.52 = = = ÷ by smallest number to get whole number ratio, i.e. ÷ The empirical formula is K 2 CrO 4

Answer CHO mass (in grams) molar mass (in gmol -1 ) number of moles 40 = = = ÷ by smallest number to get whole number ratio, i.e. ÷ The empirical formula is CH 2 O M(CH 2 O) = 12 + (2x1) + 16 = 30gmol -1 M(Glucose) = 180gmol -1 Ratio between glucose and CH 2 O = 180 = 6 30 So, molecular formula is C 6 H 12 O 6

Empirical & Molecular Formula Worksheet

Percentage purity of a substance can be calculated by dividing the mass of the pure chemical by the total mass of the sample, and then multiplying this number by 100.

A 12.00g sample of a crystallised pharmaceutical product was found to contain 11.57g of the active drug. Calculate the % purity of the sample of the drug. % purity = actual amount of desired material x 100 total amount of material % purity = x 100 = 96.4% (to 1dp) 12
