Why care about knowing the formula of a compound? To help identify it – each compound has a unique formula. To identify its properties – so we can use it for various applications (medicines, etc). The first step in determining the formula of a compound is to figure out its percent composition.
by mass mass elements molar masses
compounds ** Law of Definite Proportions: A chemical compound – no matter where you find it or the mass of the sample – always contains the same percentages of each element by mass.
