Calculating Empirical Formulas
One can calculate the empirical formula from the percent composition.

Combustion Analysis
• Compounds containing C, H and O are routinely analyzed through combustion in a chamber like this.– C is determined from the mass of CO2 produced.
– H is determined from the mass of H2O produced.
– O is determined by difference after the C and H have been determined.

Elemental Analyses
Compounds containing other elements are analyzed using methods analogous to those used for C, H and O.

Finding Molecular Formula• The molecular formula of a compound is a
multiple of the empirical formula
• Find the molar mass of the empirical formula, and divide the actual molar mass of the compound by this number
• Multiply the empirical formula by the result
![Page 11: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example
• A compound with the empirical formula of CH2 has a molar mass of 28 g/mol.
• Since the mass of CH2 is 14 g/mol, the ratio of the masses is 2
The molecular formula is therefore 2(CH2) or C2H4

Stoichiometric Calculations
The coefficients in the balanced equation give the ratio of moles of reactants and products.

Stoichiometric Calculations
Starting with the mass of Substance A you can use the ratio of the coefficients of A and B to calculate the mass of Substance B formed (if it’s a product) or used (if it’s a reactant).

Stoichiometric Calculations
Starting with 1.00 g of C6H12O6… we calculate the moles of C6H12O6…use the coefficients to find the moles of H2O…and then turn the moles of water to grams.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Limiting Reactants

How Many Cookies Can I Make?
• You can make cookies until you run out of one of the ingredients.
• Once this family runs out of sugar, they will stop making cookies (at least any cookies you would want to eat).
![Page 18: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How Many Cookies Can I Make?
• In this example the sugar would be the limiting reactant, because it will limit the amount of cookies you can make.
![Page 19: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Limiting Reactants• The limiting reactant is the reactant present in
the smallest stoichiometric amount.– In other words, it’s the reactant you’ll run out of first (in
this case, the H2).
![Page 20: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Limiting Reactants
In the example below, the O2 would be the excess reagent.
![Page 21: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Solving Limiting Reactant Problems• When given the available amount of two
reactants, choose one of the quantities (A) and use it to calculate how much of the other (B) is needed if all of the A reacts.
• If the calculated quantity of B is less than what’s given, A is the limiting reactant. If more, B is the limiting reactant.
• If B is the limiting reactant, re-do the g-mol-mol-g calculation starting with B.
![Page 22: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Amount in Excess
• Subtract the amount of the excess reactant that is required from the amount available, this is the amount that is in excess of what’s needed.
![Page 23: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Theoretical Yield
• The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be made.– In other words it’s the amount of product
possible as calculated through the stoichiometry problem.
• This is different from the actual yield, which is the amount one actually produces and measures.
![Page 24: Finding Empirical Formulas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568145b0550346895db2ae9f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Calculating theoretical yield in limiting reactant problem:
• Once you’ve determined which reactant is limiting, use the amount of the limiting reactant to calculate the theoretical yield of any product

Percent Yield
One finds the percent yield by comparing the amount actually obtained (actual yield) to the amount it was possible to make (theoretical yield).
Actual YieldTheoretical YieldPercent Yield = x 100
