Front

What is the empirical formula?

Back

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.

Front

How do you find the molecular formula from the empirical formula?

Back

To find the molecular formula, multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by a whole number that makes the molar mass match the given molecular mass.
