Percent Composition and Empirical Formulas

Percent Composition ~percent by mass of atoms present in a compound = (mass of atom)(total molar mass) x 100 water is 88.8 % Oxygen and 11.2 % Hydrogen O- 16.00/18.016 x 100 = 88.8 % H- 2.016/18.016 x 100 = 11.2 %

Example Potassium Carbonate K2CO3 39.1 x 2 + 12.01 + 16.00 x 3 = 138.21 g/mol K – 39.10x2/138.21 x 100 = 56.58 % C – 12.01/138.21 x 100 = 8.690 % O – 16.00x3/138.21 x 100 = 34.73 %

Empirical Formulas ~simplest ratio among elements in a compound this is similar to the molecular formulas we have been writing but reduced even further NH4NO2 would be … NH2O Percent composition is used to determine the empirical formula

Getting empirical formulas from percent composition 1. Convert the percentage to grams (it is easiest to use 100 g of the substance) 2. Convert the grams of each substance to moles 3. find the lowest common ratio between elements

Example A compound is 70.9 % K and 29.1 % S, what is its empirical formula? step one (assume you have 100 g) So you have 70.9 g of K and 29.1 g of S step two 70.9 g K 1 mol K 39. 10 g K 29.1 g S 1 mol S 32.06 g S = 1.81 mol = .908 mol

Step Three (divide each number by the lowest number) 1.81 mol of K .908 mol of S .908 .908 =1.99 mol of K 1 mol of S so the formula is K2S

More A substance is 78.3 % Ba, and 21.7 % F. What is its empirical formula? BaF2 A substance is 30.3 % Li, and 69.7 % O. What is its empirical formula? LiO

More Still A substance is 15.8 % Al, 28.1 % S, and 56.1 % O. What is its empirical formula? Al2 S3 O12 A substance is 25.7 % Ca, 33.3 % Cr, and 41.0 % O. What is its empirical formula? CaCrO4
