38 views2 pages
Document Summary
1 molecule of c reacts with 1 molecule of o2 to create 1 molecule of co2. 1 mol k+ = 1 mol kcl. 1 mol cl- = 1 mol kcl. 1 mol k+ = 1 mol cl- First convert 1 mol of compound/total grams of compound. Then convert mol of asked for element/mol of compound. Lastly conver how many grams of asked for element/1 mol of that element. Knowing mass is good, but to determine chemical formula with an unknown formula, you need mass ratio. Calculating mass % of x = (mass of x in grams/total mass of compound in grams) 100% Need mass of what you are looking for. Using mass % to calculate molecular formula. Chemical formula is written in molar ratios. Empirical formula = the lowest common denominator ratio of atoms in the chemical formula; the simplest whole number ratio. Molecular formula = the real number of atoms in the molecule.
