 Mr is the total relative mass of a compound

1 of 4

Empirical Formula

It's the simplest ratio of the atoms or ions in a compound.

Empirical formula for an 80% carbon hydrocarbon

Carbon

Hydrogen

Mass in 100g

80

20

Ratio of atoms/ moles (mass/Ar)

80/12=6.67

20/1=20

Simplest ratio of atoms (divide by smallest)

6.67/6.67=1

20/6.67=3

Empirical Formula

CH3

Percentages (yield and and % of an element in a co

Percentage of an element in a formula:

(Element's Ar/Compound's Mr)x100= percentage in compound

Percentage yield:

(Amount of product collected/Maximum possible yield)x100= percentage yield
