Question 1

What is the ratio of elements in an empirical formula?

  • Actual number of atoms
  • Simplest whole number ratio
  • Mass of elements

💡 Hint: Think of it as a simplified version of a chemical formula.

Question 2

True or False: The molecular formula can be exactly the same as the empirical formula.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider compounds where elements have the same ratios.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A compound is found to contain 35.0% Carbon, 7.0% Hydrogen, and 58.0% Oxygen by mass. Calculate both the empirical and molecular formulas given the molar mass is 180 g/mol.

💡 Hint: Convert mass percentages to moles, find ratios, then apply molar mass.

Question 2

Given a compound composed of 10.0 g of Nitrogen and 30.0 g of Oxygen, find the empirical and molecular formulas given its molar mass of 90 g/mol.

💡 Hint: Use the masses to find moles, then ratios to find empirical, followed by molar mass for molecular.
