February 26, 2014 Percent Composition, Empirical and Molecular Formulas Chemists create new compounds for industry, pharmaceutical, and home use Analytical chemist analyzes new compound to provide proof of composition and chemical formula. Ex: Aspirin- C9H8O4 February 26, 2014 Percent Composition: the percent by mass of each element in a compound mass of element mass of compound x 100 = percent by mass *If given mass of each element--just divide. Example: A compound was found to contain 49.98g C and 10.47g H. What is the percent composition? February 26, 2014 Given the chemical formula, to find the percent composition... 1. Assume you have 1 mole of the compound 2. Find the mass of each element (molar mass x subscript) 3. Use formula for percent by mass February 26, 2014 Example 1: Find the percent composition of H2O February 26, 2014 Example 2: Find the percent composition of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3, or baking soda) February 26, 2014 For a new compound, if the elements in a sample are known and the percent composition is known, we can find the formula of the compound. 1. Find empirical formula 2. Find molecular formula February 26, 2014 Empirical Formula: Smallest whole number ratio of moles of elements in the compound • determines subscripts • may or may not be the same as molecular formula For example: The empirical formula of hydrogen peroxide is HO (H1O1) The molecular formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 February 26, 2014 How to find empirical formula... If you are given the percent composition in a given mass of compound... 1. Assume you have 100g of the compound > Percent by mass = mass of element 2. Convert each mass to moles 3. If the moles are not whole numbers, divide the moles by the smallest mole of an element 4. If still not whole numbers, multiply by smallest number to produce a ratio of whole numbers *If you are given the mass of each element, start at step 2. February 26, 2014 Example 3: Percent composition of an oxide of sulfur is 40.05% S and 59.95% O 1. Assume you have 100g of the compound > Percent by mass = mass of element 2. Convert each mass to moles 3. If the moles are not whole numbers, divide the moles by the smallest mole of an element 4. If still not whole numbers, multiply by smallest number to produce a ratio of whole numbers February 26, 2014 Example 4: Determine the empirical formula of methyl acetate which has the collowing percent composition: 48.64% C, 8.16% H, and 43.20% O February 26, 2014 Molecular Formula: specified actual number of each element in one molecule *Different substances (different molecular formulas) can have the same empirical formula. Ex: Acetylene and Benzene both have the empirical formula CH Acetylene: C2H2 Benzene: C6H6 http://www.citycollegiate.com/benzene3.htm February 26, 2014 To determine the molecular formula for a compound... 1. Take the experimentally determined molar mass (will be given to you) 2. Divide by mass of empirical formula ***This will tell you how many times bigger the molar mass is*** 3. Multiply empirical formula by result. February 26, 2014 Example 5: What is the molecular formula of succinic acid? The molar mass of succinic acid is 118.1g/mol. The empirical formula is C2H3O2 1. Take the experimentally determined molar mass (will be given to you) 2. Divide by mass of empirical formula ***This will tell you how many times bigger the molar mass is*** 3. Multiply empirical formula by result. February 26, 2014 Example 6: A compound was found to contain 49.98g C and 10.47g H. The molar mass is 58.12g/mol. Determine the molecular formula. 1. 2. Determine empirical formula Determine molecular formula February 26, 2014 Example 7: A colorless liquid composed of 46.68% N and 53.32% O has a molar mass of 60.01g/mol. What is the molecular formula? February 26, 2014 Hydrate: A compound that has a specific number of water molecules bound to its atoms. Example: Opal (a gemstone) is composed of Silicon dioxide ( ). The coloring is the result of water in the mineral. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:8ct_Lightning_Ridge_Black_Opal.JPG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:10_7cts_Brazilian_Crystal_Opal.jpg February 26, 2014 Hydrate: A compound that has a specific number of water molecules bound to its atoms. Example: Desiccants--anhydrous (w/o water) form of hydrate can absorb water from air February 26, 2014 Hydrates • A formula for a hydrate indicates the # of water molecules associated with the formula of the compound > Example: Na2CO3 10H2O (Sodium carbonate decahydrate) February 26, 2014 To determine the formula for a hydrate... 1. Find moles of water associated with 1 mole of hydrate > Mass hydrate compound > Heat sample of hydrate to drive off water > Mass anhydrous (w/o water) compound > Find difference:MassH2O=Masshydrate - Massanhydrous 2. Find moles of water 3. Find moles of anhydrous compound 4. Calculate ratio of moles of water to compound moles water moles anhydrous compound February 26, 2014 Example 8: A mass of 2.50g of hydrated copper sulfate (CuSO4 xH2O) is heated. After heating, 1.59g anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) remains. what is the formula of the hydrate? 1. Find moles of water associated with 1 mole of hydrate > Mass hydrate compound > Heat sample of hydrate to drive off water > Mass anhydrous (w/o water) compound > Find difference:MassH2O=Masshydrate - Massanhydrous 2. Find moles of water 3. Find moles of anhydrous compound 4. Calculate ratio of moles of water to compound moles water moles anhydrous compound February 26, 2014 Example 9: A mass of 11.75g of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride is heated. After heating, 9.25g anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride remains. what is the formula of the hydrate? 1. Find moles of water associated with 1 mole of hydrate > Mass hydrate compound > Heat sample of hydrate to drive off water > Mass anhydrous (w/o water) compound > Find difference:MassH2O=Masshydrate - Massanhydrous 2. Find moles of water 3. Find moles of anhydrous compound 4.
