End Show © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 1 of 40 Percent Composition and Chemical Formulas It helps to know the percents of the components in a shirt because they affect how warm it is, whether it will need to be ironed, and how it should be cleaned. You will learn how the percents of the elements in a compound are important in chemistry. 10.3

End Show Slide 17 of 40 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Percent Composition and Chemical Formulas > Empirical Formulas The empirical formula gives the lowest whole- number ratio of the atoms of the elements in a compound. The empirical formula of a compound shows the smallest whole-number ratio of the atoms in the compound. 10.3

End Show Slide 18 of 40 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Percent Composition and Chemical Formulas > Empirical Formulas Ethyne (C 2 H 2 ) is a gas used in welder’s torches. Styrene (C 8 H 8 ) is used in making polystyrene. These two compounds of carbon have the same empirical formula (CH) but different molecular formulas. 10.3
