The empirical formula of a compound gives the lowest whole-number ratio of the atoms or moles of the elements in a compound.

Empirical Formulas

• An empirical formula may or may not be the same as a molecular formula. – For example, the lowest ratio of hydrogen to oxygen

in hydrogen peroxide is 1:1. Thus, the empirical formula of hydrogen peroxide is HO.

– The molecular formula, H2O2, has twice the number of atoms as the empirical formula.

– Notice that the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is still the same, 1:1.

The percent composition of a compound can be used to calculate the empirical formula of that compound.

• The percent composition tells the ratio of masses of the elements in a compound.

• The ratio of masses can be changed to ratio of moles by using conversion factors based on the molar mass of each element.

• The mole ratio is then reduced to the lowest whole-number ratio to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.

You can calculate the empirical formula mass (efm) of a compound from its empirical formula.

Molecular Formulas

• Then you can divide the experimentally determined molar mass by the empirical formula mass.

• This quotient gives the number of empirical formula units in a molecule of the compound and is the multiplier to convert the empirical formula to the molecular formula.
