• Percentage Composition
• The mass percentage of each element in the
  compound
• The composition is determined by experiment,
  often by combustion. When a compound is burned,
  its component elements form oxidesfor example,
  CO2 and H2O. The CO2 and H2O are captured and
  weighed to determine the amount of C and H in the
  original compound.

16

• Benzene is a liquid compound composed of carbon
  and hydrogen it is used in the preparation of
  polystyrene plastic. A sample of benzene weighing
  342 mg is burned in oxygen and forms 1158 mg of
  carbon dioxide. What is the percentage
  composition of benzene?

17
Strategy 1. Use the mass of CO2 to find the mass
of carbon from the benzene. 2. Use the mass of
benzene and the mass of carbon to find the mass
of hydrogen. 3. Use these two masses to find the
percent composition.
18
First, find the mass of C in 1156 mg of CO2
315.5 mg C
19
Next, find the mass of H in the benzene sample
342 mg benzene -315.5 mg C 26.5 mg H (the
decimal is not significant)

• Now, we can find the percentage composition

20

• Empirical Formula (Simplest Formula)
• The formula of a substance written with the
  smallest integer subscripts
• For example
• The empirical formula for N2O4 is NO2.
• The empirical formula for H2O2 is HO

21

• Determining the Empirical Formula
• Beginning with percent composition
• Assume exactly 100 g so percentages convert
  directly to grams.
• Convert grams to moles for each element.
• Manipulate the resulting mole ratios to obtain
  whole numbers.

22

• Manipulating the ratios
• Divide each mole amount by the smallest mole
  amount.
• If the result is not a whole number
• Multiply each mole amount by a factor.
• For example
• If the decimal portion is 0.5, multiply by 2.
• If the decimal portion is 0.33 or 0.67, multiply
  by 3.
• If the decimal portion is 0.25 or 0.75, multiply
  by 4.

23

• Benzene is composed of 92.3 carbon and 7.7
  hydrogen. What is the empirical formula of
  benzene?

Empirical formula CH
24

• Molecular Formula
• A formula for a molecule in which the subscripts
  are whole-number multiples of the subscripts in
  the empirical formula

25

• To determine the molecular formula
• Compute the empirical formula weight.
• Find the ration of the molecular weight to the
  empirical formula weight.
• Multiply each subscript of the empirical formula
  by n.

26

• Benzene has the empirical formula CH. Its
  molecular weight is 78.1 amu. What is its

Determining Empirical Formulas from
Masses of Elements - I
Problem The elemental analysis of a sample
compound gave the following results 5.677g Na,
6.420 g Cr, and 7.902 g O. What is the empirical
formula and name of the compound? Plan First we
have to convert mass of the elements to moles of
the elements using the molar masses. Then we
construct a preliminary formula and name of the
compound. Solution Finding the moles of the
elements Moles of Na 5.678 g Na x
Moles of Cr
6.420 g Cr x
Moles of O 7.902 g O x
1 mol Na 22.99 g Na
