Molecular
ex. (in-class) A sample of an unknown compound is analyzed and found to contain 8.4g of C and 2.1g of H, and 5.6g of O.
C8.4H2.1O5.6 <--------- this is wrong because it is not in whole numbers!
ex. A compound was analyzed and found to contain 13.5 g Ca, 10.8 g O, and 0.675 g H. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
Here's a helpful hint for putting your ratios into whole numbers:
If the ratio ends in...
~0.5 multiply by 2
~0.33 or ~0.66 multiply by 3
~0.25 or ~0.75 multiply by 4
~0.2, ~ 0.4, ~0.6, ~0.8 multiply by 5
- P4O10
- C10H22
- C6H18O3
- C5H12O
N2O4
Empirical
P2O5
C5H11
C2H6O
C5H12O

-Empirical formulas gives the whole number ratios of elements in a compound
-Molecular formulas give the actual numbers
-therefore, the empirical formula is the simplest formElement | Mass (g) | Atomic Mass | Moles |
C | 8.4 | 12.0 g/mol | 8.4g ÷ 12.0 g/mol = 0.7 mol |
H | 2.1 | 1.0 g/mol | 2.1g ÷ 1.0 g/mol = 2.1 mol |
O | 5.6 | 16.0 g/mol | 5.6g ÷ 16.0 g/mol = 0.35 mol |
ex. A compound was analyzed and found to contain 13.5 g Ca, 10.8 g O, and 0.675 g H. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
Element | Mass (g) | Atomic Mass | Moles |
Ca | 13.5 | 40.1 g/mol | 13.5g ÷ 40.1 g/mol = 0.337 mol |
O | 10.8 | 16.0 g/mol | 10.8g ÷ 16.0 g/mol = 0.269 mol |
H | 0.675 | 1.0 g/mol | 0.675g ÷ 1.0 g/mol = 0.675 mol |
Here's a helpful hint for putting your ratios into whole numbers:
If the ratio ends in...
~0.5 multiply by 2
~0.33 or ~0.66 multiply by 3
~0.25 or ~0.75 multiply by 4

Percent Mass of Elements in Compounds

In today's class, we went over the percent mass of elements in compounds and did a few examples.
The percent composition: the percent mass of each element in a compound
How to find the percent composition:
1. Find the total molar mass of the compound.
2. Next, find the molar mass of each element. (Remember, if there is a subscript, you must multiply the element's mass from the Periodic table by that subscript.)
3. Finally, divide each element's molar mass by the toal molar mass.
Note: Do not round right away to a whole number!
ex. (from in-class) Find the percent composition of K2Cr2O7
step 1: 2(39.10) + 2(52.0) + 7(16.0) = 294.2 g/mol (the total molar mass)
step 2 & 3:
2(39.10) ÷ 294.2 g/mol = K 27%
2(52.0) ÷ 294.2 g/mol = Cr 35%
7(16.0) ÷ 294.2 g/mol = O 38%
ex. What is the percent of carbon in glucose, C6H12O6?
step 1: 6(12.0) + 12(1.0) + 6(16.0) = 180.0 g/mol (the total molar mass)
step 2 & 3:
6(12.0) ÷ 180.0 g/mol = C 40%
Here's a video to recap! Enjoy!

Mass, Density.. Molar Conversions and Such

lacheeeks
Today in class, we reviewed the past topics of conversions to and from Moles, Volume, Molar Mass, Density, and Atoms and Molecules. Don't forget about Mr. Doktor's chart!
Density <----> Molar Mass <----> Mole <-- (conversion factor is 6.02 x 1023)--> Atoms and Molecules (the subscripts)
Mole <--(conversion factor is 22.4 L/mol or vice versa)--> Volume
Below, we have some examples..
Ex. (in class) 1.25 L of an unknown gas has a mass of 3.47 g. What is the molar mass if it is 22.4 L/mol?
1.25 L x 1 mol = 0.0558 mol
22.4 L
Molar Mass = 3.47 g = 62.2 g/mol
0.0558 mol
Ex. (in class) 250 mL of a gas which is known to contain one sulphur atom and an unknown number of fluorides has a mass of 1.63 g at STP. Find the molar mass, then the number of fluoride atoms. (SFx)
a) the Molar Mass
0.25 L x 1 mol = 0.011 mol
22.4L
1.63g / 0.011 mol = 146.048 g/mol
b) the number of fluoride atoms
1(32.1) + x(19) = 146
19x = 146-32.1
x = 6
Ex.Calculate the volume of 11.2 mol of HCN (g) at STP.
11.2 mol x 22.4 L = 250.88 L = 251 L
1 mol
Ex. What is the volume of 1.3 g of NO2 at STP?
1N + 2O --> 1 (14) + 2(16) = 46 g/mol
1.3 g x 1 mol x 22.4 L = 0.633 L
46 g 1 mol

Density and Moles
Density=mass per unit volume
D=m/v V=m/D m=D x V
Density of Gases of STP
-1mole of gas
Dstp m/v= molar mass/22.4
Example:
Calculate the density of O2 at STP.
D= 32g/mol / 22.4L/mol =1.43g/L
DAIR= 1.5g/L
Density--(M,D,V)--Mass--(Molar Mass)--Mole--(6.02x10 power of 23)--Molecules
Mole--(22.4)--Volume of STP
Molecules--(subscripts)--Atoms
