CHEM 023 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Chlorine, Sodium Chloride, Molar Mass
Document Summary
Calculating empirical formula from mass % values rather than actual gram amounts: A compound contains mass %s of constituent elements as follows: carbon: 20. 0, hydrogen: 2. 2, chlorine: 77. 8% Mole ratio (whole #) (multiply by 3 to get to nearest whole integer) Assume 100g of compound, the mass % is automatically converted to gram masses: If we have 100g of the compound, the following masses are evident: carbon: 20. 0g, hydrogen: 2. 2g, chlorine: 7. 7g.
