1 DETERMINATION OF AN EMPIRICAL FORMULA 1

2 Empirical Formulas Empirical formula (“formula unit”) -the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in an ionic compound. There are two ways to determine the empirical formula for an ionic compound. 1.Using charges (use your ions and this is easy). C CRISS O S S 2.Mathematically (yippee!!!) 2

3 Method #1 – Charges EX: Write the empirical formula for the compound formed by Na & Pc. K & Ne Sr & Cld. Cu & Cl No compound Na 3 P SrCl 2 CuCl or CuCl 2 3

4 Method #2 – Mathematically Step 1:Use the information given in the problem and dimensional analysis with the atomic mass of the element (from periodic table- round to 3 SDs) to find the number of moles you have Step 2:Take all the mole values and divide them by the SMALLEST one to figure out a ratio Step 3: Use the answers as subscripts in the empirical formula 4

5 Reference-Empirical Formulas 7.06 g of silver combine with an excess of fluorine to produce 8.30 g of a compound Silver + Fluorine  Ag ? F ? 7.06g 1.24g 8.30g 7.06 g Ag 1.24 g F =.0654 moles Ag =.0653 moles F Found by subtracting! Ag 1 F 1 ANSWER = AgF 5

6 Reference-Empirical Formulas A compound contains 24.58% K, 35.81% Mn, and 40.50% O. Find the empirical formula (assume working with 100 grams of the compound and change percentages to grams) 24.58 g K 35.81 g Mn 40.50 g O =.629 mole K =.652 moles Mn = 2.53 moles O ANSWER = KMnO 4 6

7 Uneven Empirical Formulas When figuring empirical formulas mathematically, sometimes the resulting numbers don’t come out so clean You can’t just assume and round how you choose 7

8 Reference-.05 Rule Values used in these problems are obtained by experimentation. The 0.05 rule allows for experimental error: –If the value is within.05 of a whole number (+0.05 or - 0.05), then the value may be rounded to that whole number –Examples: 1.96 can be rounded to 2 1.07 cannot be rounded to 1 3.02 could be rounded to 3 1.93 cannot be rounded to 2 IF one of the values is not within.05 of a whole number, all the values must be multiplied by an integer so that all values fall within.05 of whole numbers 8

9 Reference-Uneven Empirical Formulas 4.35 g sample of zinc is combined with an excess of the element phosphorus. 5.72 g of compound are formed. Calculate the empirical formula. Zinc + Phosphorous  Zn ? P ? 4.35g 1.37g 5.72g Found by subtracting! 4.35 g Zn 1.37 g P =.0665 moles Zn =.0442 moles P Not within.05 of a whole number X 2 = 3.00 or 3 X 2 = 2.00 or 2 ANSWER = Zn 3 P 2 9
