22. Percent Composition
With any percentage problem you are comparing __________ to the ____________.
In chemistry we do this based on __________, not by number of atoms. To find the percentage of certain elements in a compound you will compare the mass of the element to the mass of the _______________________

23. Percent composition steps
1) Write the correct formula
2) Find the formula or molecular mass of the entire compound
3) Divide total mass of the element whose percentage you are looking for by the total mass of the entire element. Multiply the result by 100 to convert to a percentage
4) Since there are no significant digits given in the problem, round your answer to 2 decimal places and add the % sign as the label.

24. Example
What is the complete percentage composition (by mass) of potassium carbonate?

25. Practice What is the percent of calcium in calcium phosphide?

30. Terms What is a molecular formula? What is an empirical formula?
True formula of a molecule
What is an empirical formula?
Lowest whole number ratio of atoms: can represent several different atoms
Ionic compounds will only have an empirical formula

31. Application What do the subscripts represent in the molecular formula?
The actual number of atoms in the molecule
How do the subscripts differ for the empirical formula?
Smallest whole number ratio

32. If the molecular formula is C6H12O6, and the empirical formula is CH2O, how many “empirical formulas” (empirical formula units (EFU)) are needed to make the molecular formula.
What is the molar mass for the empirical formula? How does it relate mathematically to the molar mass of the molecule?

33. Empirical Formula Steps
1) Percent to mass: assume 100 grams. Drop the percent label and add the grams label (42% becomes 42 grams)
2) Mass to mole: convert the masses found in the first step to moles of each element. Leave at least 4 sig figs
3) Divide by smallest: Whichever element has the smallest amount of moles (found in step 2) divide all moles by this amount.
4) Multiply ‘til whole: you must end in a whole number.
If the number ends in
Multiply by
.2 or .8 5
.25 or .75 4
.33 or .67 3 .5 2

34. Empirical Steps Memorize the saying :
Percent to mass, mass to mole, divide by smallest, multiply ‘til whole.

35. Example
A compound is found to contain 34.39% Zinc, 14.82% nitrogen, and 50.79% Oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

36. Practice
A 200 gram sample of compound which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is found to contain grams of carbon, grams of hydrogen, and grams of oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

37. Molecular Formula Steps
1) Find the molar mass of the empirical formula (MMef)
2) Divide the given molecular mass of the entire molecule (MMmlcl) by the molecular mass of the empirical formula (MMef). This number gives you the number of EFUs(empirical formula units).
3) Use the whole number result to multiply all of the subscripts of the empirical formula by and write the molecular formula

38. Example
The empirical formula and molar mass for a substance were determined to be C2H4O2 and g/mol respectively. Determine the molecular formula for the substance.

39. Practice
