Calculate the volume, in dm 3, of nitrogen formed under STP conditions. Empirical and Molecular Formulas Percentage Composition by Mass When working with percentage figures, always check that they add up to 100. Sometimes an element is omitted from the data and you are expected to deduce its identify and percentage from the information. Empirical Formula- the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound Can be deduced from experimental results (usually involving combustion). Molecular Formula- shows all the atoms present in a molecule. It is a multiple of the empirical formula. Example: Determining the formula for magnesium oxide. Burn a known mass of magnesium and from this calculate the number of moles of Mg. Convert 0.1867 g of Mg to moles of Mg. Calculate the mass of oxygen reacted from the increase in mass and from this calculate the moles of oxygen. After burning, the mass of the product was 0.2893g Determine the mass of oxygen reacted. Convert the mass of oxygen to moles of oxygen. Express the moles of oxygen and magnesium in simplest form.
The ratio of moles is the ratio of atoms, so we can deduce the simplest formula of magnesium oxide. The molecular mass was determined to be 40.3g mol -1.
