18
2 of 11
How do you find the percentage composition of one element in a compound?
(Total mass of element/total mass of compound) x 100%
3 of 11
What is an empirical formula?
A molecular formula in its simplest ratio
4 of 11

What does a reacting mass calculation tell you?
The mass of a product given the mass of the reactant or vice versa
6 of 11
How is the number of moles calculated?
Mass (g) / Relative atomic Mass
7 of 11
How is the mass of an element found?
Moles x Relative Formula Mass
8 of 11
How is the percentage yield calculated?
(Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100%
9 of 11
Why is the actual yield always lower than the theoretical yield?
Some of the product is lost in filtration, evaporation, heating, transferring liquids or side/reversible reactions
