Empirical Formula;
If asked to find the empirical formula of iron oxide produced when 44.8g of iron react with 19.2g of oxygen, start by listing the element in the compound
Fe O
Then write in the experimental masses
Fe O
44.8 19.2
Then divide each mass by the relative atomic mass (RAM) for that element
Fe O
44.8 19.2
44.8/56=0.8 …
