Here’s the equation:
3. How many moles is 2.80 X 1024
atoms of silicon?
How many moles is 2.17 X 1023
particles of bromine?
How many moles are in 20 grams of NaCl?
Determine the volume in liters of 5 moles of hydrogen gas.
Another example:
Calculate the volume, in liters, of 3.24 x 1022 molecules of Cl2 (STP).

Step 4:
Let’s Practice:
What is the percent composition of PbCO 4 ?
• When no formula is given, take the numbers that are given and add them together
to get a total.
• Divide each number by the total and multiply by 100 to get the percent.
EMPIRICAL FORMULA
• What is an empirical formula?
5. • This is a formula that gives the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a
compound.
• It’s similar to reducing fractions.
Calculating Empirical Formula

6. Let’s Practice:
A compound is analyzed and found to contain 13.5 g Ca, 10.8 g O and .675 g H. What is
the empirical formula of the compound?
Molecular Formula
• Molecular formula is similar to empirical formula.
• It is a multiple of the empirical formula and reflects the actual chemical formula.
