Percent composition and empirical formulas
No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've
probably only seen the tip of them
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
• Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms.
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
• Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass:
• Na=22.99g/mol
• Cl=35.45g/mol
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
• Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass:
• %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100%
• %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100%
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
• Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass:
• %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100%
• %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100%FM of NaCl !
An example.
• You could claim that NaCl is half sodium and half chlorine—one of each.
• Chlorine atoms are heavier than sodium atoms. By mass:
• %Na=22.99g/58.44 g x 100%=39.34% and
• %Cl=35.45g/58.44 g x 100%=60.66%
Definition
• % composition of a compound:
• % A= mass A in the compound x 100%
mass of the compound
PS
• All of the %’s add up to 100%
• The %’s are constant, no matter how much of the substance!
• (AKA: the law of definite proportions)
Try it.
• What is the percent composition of CaBr2?
Try it.
• What is the percent composition of CaBr2?
(FM=199.88g/mol)
Try it.
• What is the percent composition of CaBr2?
(FM=199.88g/mol)
• %Ca=40.08g/199.88 g x 100% and
• %Br=2 x 79.90g/199.88 g x 100%
Try it.
• What is the percent composition of CaBr2?
(FM=199.88g/mol)
• %Ca=40.08g/199.88 g x 100%=20.05% and
• %Br=2 x 79.90g/199.88 g x 100%=79.95%

There are two things to watch out for:
1) What if the smallest number is not 1?
2) What if the simplest whole number ratio is smaller than the molecule?
