What is the difference between an empirical formula and a molecular formula?

• Both show the exact number of atoms.

• Empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of atoms, while molecular formula shows the exact number of atoms.

• Empirical formula shows the exact number of atoms, while molecular formula shows the simplest ratio.

• Both show the simplest ratio of atoms.

What assumption is made about the sample size when calculating the empirical formula?

• The sample size is 10 grams.

• The sample size is 200 grams.

• The sample size is 100 grams.

How do you convert grams to moles in the calculation process?

• By adding the grams to the atomic mass

• By dividing the grams by the atomic mass

• By subtracting the atomic mass from the grams

• By multiplying the grams by the atomic mass

What is the empirical formula derived from the given data?
