3.7 Formula Mass versus Molar
mass

Formula mass
◦ The average mass of a
molecule or formula unit in
amu
◦ also known as molecular
mass or molecular weight
(MW)
◦ whole = sum of the parts!

Molar mass
◦ Total mass of a
compound in gram per 1
mol of its molecules or
formula unit
Molar Mass of Compounds

the relative masses of molecules can be calculated from atomic
masses
Formula Mass = 1 molecule of H2O
= 2(1.01 amu H) + 16.00 amu O = 18.02 amu
Why multiplying 2?

since 1 mole of H2O contains 2 moles of H and 1 mole of O
Molar Mass = 1 mole H2O
= 2(1.01 g H) + 16.00 g O = 18.02 g
so the Molar Mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mole


Percentage of each element in a compound
◦
By mass
Can be determined from
the formula of the compound
the experimental mass analysis of the compound
The percentages may not always total to 100% due to rounding

Conversion Factor


Benzaldehyde is 79.2% carbon. What mass of benzaldehyde
contains 19.8 g of C?
Chemical Formulas and Elemental
Composition
chemical formulas have inherent in them relationships between
numbers of atoms and molecules
◦ or moles of atoms and molecules
 these relationships can be used to convert between amounts of
constituent elements and molecules
◦ like percent composition
Vol A  Grams A  Moles A  Moles B  Grams B

Grams A  Moles A  Moles B  Grams B

Example
Butane (C4H10) is the liquid fuel in lighters.
 a.
Determine the number of atoms ratio between carbon and 1
molecule of C4H10

b. Determine the number moles ratio between C and 1 mol of
C4H10
c.
How many grams of carbon are present within a lighter
containing 7.5 mL of butane? The density of quid butane is
0.601 g/mL
Empirical Formula
simplest, whole-number ratio of the atoms of elements in a
compound
 can be determined from elemental analysis
◦ masses of elements formed when decompose or react compound
 combustion analysis
◦ percent composition

Steps in determine the Empirical
formula



Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element (in grams)
E.G 100% = 100g therefore mass percent is the same numerical
value in grams
Step 2: Determine the numbers moles of each atom present
◦ Use molar mass of each element
Step 3: Divide the smallest moles by numbers moles of each atom
to obtain the closet integer as possible.
◦ if result is within 0.1 of whole number, round to whole number
Step 4: If the result ended with 0.5, 0.33, 1.125, 1.50 etc… then
multiply with a factor to get the nearest integer as possible.
E.g 1.5 x 2 = 3.0 atoms
1.33 x 3 = 3. 99 = 4 atoms
Step 5: Write the result (number atoms) from step 4 as a subscript
for the appropriate element.
Example

Determine the empirical formula of stannous fluoride, which
contains 75.7% Sn (118.70g/mol) and the rest fluorine (19.00
g/mol)

An unknown sample gives the following mass percent:
17.5% Na, 39.7% Cr and 42.8% O. What is the empirical
formula?
Molecular Formulas


The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula
To determine the molecular formula you need to know the
empirical formula and the molar mass of the compound
Multiple (n) =
molecular mass
empirical formula mass
Molecular formula = empirical formula
x n
where n = 1, 2, 3, 4
12
Example

Laboratory analysis of aspirin determined the following mass
percent composition. Find the empirical formula and molecular
formula
C = 60.00%
H = 4.48%
O = 35.53%

Determining Empirical Formulas:
Elemental Analysis
Combustion Analysis: A compound of unknown composition
(containing a combination of carbon, hydrogen, and possibly
oxygen) is burned with oxygen to produce the volatile combustion
products CO2 and H2O, which are separated and weighed by an
automated instrument called a gas chromatograph.

gCO2  moles CO2  moles C  gC
gH2O  moles H2O  moles H  gH
g O = g sample – (g H + g C)
◦ gO  moles O
Follow steps in determine the empirical formula and molecular
formula
Example

Combustion of a 0.8233 g sample of a compound containing only
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced the following:
CO2 = 2.445 g
H2O = 0.6003 g
Determine the empirical formula of the compound

hydrogen produced 1.60g CO2 and 0.819g H2O. Find the empirical

Chemical Equations are Balanced
In a balanced
chemical reaction
• no atoms are lost or
gained.
• the number of reacting
atoms is equal to the
number of product
atoms.

Balancing Chemical Equations
A balanced chemical equation shows that the law of conservation
of mass is adhered to.
In a balanced chemical equation, the numbers and kinds of atoms
on both sides of the reaction arrow are identical.

Balancing Chemical Equations
1. Write the unbalanced equation using the correct chemical
formula for each reactant and product.
H2(g) + O2(g)

2. Find suitable coefficients—the numbers placed before
formulas to indicate how many formula units of each
substance are required to balance the equation.
2H2(g) + O2(g)

3. Reduce the coefficients to their smallest whole-number
values, if necessary, by dividing them all by a common
denominator.
