About this resource
This quiz focuses on empirical and molecular formulas, a fundamental topic in stoichiometry and chemical composition analysis appropriate for grades 10-12 chemistry. Students must demonstrate mastery of several interconnected concepts: converting percent composition data to empirical formulas using molar masses and mole ratios, calculating molecular formulas from empirical formulas when given molecular mass, determining percent composition from molecular formulas, and distinguishing between empirical and molecular representations of compounds. The problems require students to perform multi-step calculations involving atomic masses, mole conversions, ratio simplification, and multiplicative relationships between empirical and molecular formulas. Students need solid computational skills, understanding of significant figures, and the ability to recognize when empirical and molecular formulas are identical versus when they differ by whole-number multiples. Created by Patricia Dimapilis, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment or guided practice as students build proficiency with formula determination problems. Teachers can use these questions as warm-up problems to activate prior knowledge about molar mass calculations, assign them as homework to reinforce classroom instruction, or implement them during review sessions before unit tests. The variety of question types—from computational problems requiring percent composition analysis to conceptual questions about the relationship between empirical and molecular formulas—allows instructors to gauge both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-7 (using mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms are conserved during chemical reactions) and supports Common Core mathematical practices in chemistry contexts.
