1 Empirical Formulas from Analysis When iron reacts with oxygen in the air a compound (rust) is formed that is 69.9% Fe and 30.1% O. Determine the empirical formula of rust and write a balanced chemical equation for the process. The mole ratios should be rounded to the nearest whole number OR to the nearest common fraction (1/4, 1/3, ½) and multiplied by the least common denominator.

2 Combustion analysis Experimental method for determining empirical formulas When a compound containing carbon and hydrogen is completely combusted, all the carbon in the compound is converted to CO 2 and all the hydrogen is converted to H 2 O. The CO 2 and H 2 O that is produced is weighed to determine the empirical formula of the compound. “Empirical” means “based on observation and experiment”.

3 Combustion analysis Experimental method for determining empirical formulas Isopropyl alcohol is composed of C, H, and O. Combustion of 0.255 g of isopropyl alcohol produces 0.561 g CO 2 and 0.306 g H 2 O. Determine the empirical formula.

4 Combustion analysis Experimental method for determining empirical formulas Caproic acid (stinky socks) is composed of C, H, and O atoms. Combustion of a 0.225-g sample of this compound produces 0.512 g CO 2 and 0.209 g H 2 O. What is empirical formula of caproic acid? Caproic acid has a molar mass of 116 g/mol. What is its molecular formula?

5 Quantitative Information from Balanced Equations The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation tell us the relative number of molecules (or relative number of moles) involved in the reaction. 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g)  2H 2 O(l) 2 molecules 2(6.022x10 23 molecules) 2 mol 1 molecule 1(6.022x10 23 molecules) 1 mol 2 molecules 2(6.022x10 23 molecules) 2 mol
