Empirical formula
The steps for determining the empirical formula of a compound are as follows:
Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element present in grams
Element % = mass in g = m
Step 2: Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present
m/atomic mass = Molar amount (M)
Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles
M / least M value = Atomic Ratio (R)
Step 4: Convert numbers to whole numbers. This set of whole numbers are the subscripts in the empirical formula.
R * whole number = Empirical Formula
