5
Percent Composition Is the mass percent of a element in a compound How much one thing is made of another There are 2 ways we can calculate percent composition: Experimentally Theoretically
6
Experimentally EX: 2H + O H 2 O Determine the mass of the products &reactants M H = 2.5 g M O = M H20 = 22.5g
7
Experimentally Determine the Percent Composition If M H = 20.0 g and M H20 = 22.5g % Composition x = (M x / M product ) x 100
8
Theoretically EX: Na 2 CO 3 Determine the mM of each element mM Na = mM C = mM O =
9
Theoretically EX: Na 2 CO 3 Determine the mM of the compound mM Na = 22.99 g/mol mM C = 12.01 g/mol mM O = 16.00 g/mol mM Na2CO3 = 105.99 g/mol
10
Theroetically Determine the % composition mM Na = 22.99 g/mol mM C = 12.01 g/mol mM O = 16.00 g/mol mM Na2CO3 = 105.99 g/mol % Composition x = (mM x / mM product ) x 100
11
Theoretically: KMnO 4 What is the percent composition of K in KMnO 4 ?

14
Agenda 1. Homework Review 2. CSI: Unknown Identification 3. Teacher Led Discussion Empirical Formula Molecular Formula 4. Practise Problems Evidence Analysis 5. Homework
15
Learning Goals Students should be able to calculate the empirical formula when given the percent composition of a sample Students should be able to calculate the molecular formula when give the percent composition and molecular mass of a sample
16
CSI: Evidence Analysis
17
Empirical Formula A formula that is derived from experimental observations Not theory Tells us the simplest ratio that the elements are combined in
18
Ethyne v. Benzene
19
What is the EF? 1. C 6 H 6 2. C 8 H 18 3. WO 2 4. C 2 H 6 O 2
20
Finding the Ratio We need to know the percent composition by mass You then convert the mass in grams to moles You can use the moles as the EF’s subscripts This may require multiplication to get whole numbers EX: You test a small sample and find the compound is 60% magnesium and 40% oxygen
21
Practise Problem What is the EF for a compound found to have a percent composition as follows: 21.6% sodium, 33.3% chlorine and 45.1% oxygen.
22
Technology Generally to determine the percent composition Combustion Analysers are used Small sample of substance burned in a combustion chamber When compound burned : O combines with C to make CO2 H combines with O to make H20 vapour All other elements present will convert to oxides Quantities of all these products precisely measures and used to determine % composition
23
But... EF does not necessarily provide correct information about the number of atoms in a molecule Does not tell us the actual quantity of atoms in the sample It tells us the simplest ratio of the atoms Therefore we commonly need the molecular formula
24
Molecular Formula You need to know the mM You then see how many multiples of the EF can fit in the mM Multiply the subscripts by this number to get the MF EX: The EF of a compound is found to be CH3 and the mM is found to be 30.00g/mol. What is the MF?
25
Practise Problem A compound with an empirical formula of C 2 OH 4 and a molar mass of 88 grams per mole. What is the molecular formula of this compound?
26
Technology Mass spectrometer commonly used Small sample bombarded by beam of e- Causes molecules in sample to break up into charged fragments Fragments are accelerated by an electrified field and deflected by a magnetic field Deflection will alter based on mass and charge of fragment Deflection used to determine mM of original sample can be detected
27
Another Practise Problem... Knowing the EF is C 3 H 4 O 3, what is the MF if the mM is determined to be 176.14 g/n?
