Simplest (Empirical) Formula
• Simplest integer ratio of the atoms in a compound
• Assume 100 g of compound, %element is then g
element in sample
• g element x 1 mol element = mol element
g element
CHCl3 10.061 g C x 1 mol C = 0.83765 mol C
12.011 g C
Determine simplest integer mole ratio
EXAMPLE: Phosphorus burns in air to
produce a white compound that is 43.7% P
and 56.3% O by mass. What is the empirical
formula of the compound?
Assume 100 g of compound
mass
43.7g P
56.3g O
Relative Number of Atoms
(mass/atomic mass) Divide by Smaller
= 1.41
56.3/15.9994 = 3.52
43.7/30.97
1.41/1.41 = 1.00
3.52/1.41 = 2.50
Empirical Formula  P2O5
Multiply
by Integer
2  1.00  2
2  2.50  5
.25, .33, .5, .67, .75
¼, ⅓, ½, ⅔, ¾
1:1.25 = 4:5
Molecular Formula
• The exact proportions of the elements that
are contained in a molecule
• An integer multiple (X) of the empirical
formula
MF = X  EF
Molecular Formula from
Simplest Formula
empirical formula mass  FM
sum of the atomic weights represented by
the empirical formula
molar mass = MM = X  FM
Molecular Formula from
Simplest Formula
first, knowing MM and FM
X = MM/FM
then
MF = X  EF
EXAMPLE: Our phosphorus compound has a
molar mass of ~285. What is the molecular
formula?
FM = 2 x 30.97 + 5 x 16.00 = 141.94
MM
285
X=
=
=2
FM
141.94
thus MF = 2  EF

The empirical formula of a substance is found
to be CH3O and its molecular weight is found
to be roughly 61 g/mol. What is the true

Quantities of Reactants
and Products
Balanced Chemical Equation
• Representation of a chemical reaction which
uses stoichiometric coefficients (prefix
numbers) to represent the relative amounts
of reactants and products
• 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g)  2 H2O (l)
• Molecule to Molecule
or Mole to Mole
EXAMPLE How much H2O, in moles
results from burning an excess of H2 in 3.3
moles of O2?
2 H2 + O2  2 H2O
#mol H2O =
(3.3 mol O2) (2 mol H2O)
(1 mol O2)
Mole ratio from
balanced chemical equation
= 6.6 mol H2O
Reaction of H2 and Cl2
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g)  2 HCl (g)
one to one gives two
or
four to four gives eight

Writing and Balancing
Chemical Equations
• Determine the type of reaction and formulae
of the products
• Write an unbalanced equation with the
correct reactants and products
• Balance the equation by the use of prefixes
(coefficients) to balance the number of each
type of atom on the reactant and product
sides of the equation.
Example
Iron is produced by the reduction of iron(III)
oxide with CO which forms CO2
iron(III) oxide + carbon monoxide  iron + carbon dioxide
Fe2O3 + CO  Fe + CO2
Fe2O3 + CO  2 Fe + CO2
Fe2O3 + 3 CO  2 Fe + 3 CO2
When aluminum reacts with sulfuric
acid to yield aluminum sulfate and
hydrogen what is the SUM of the
coefficients in the balanced equation?
