39
Q

Formula mass

A

the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in its chemical formula.

CO2 -> 12.01amu+2(16.00amu) = 44.01amu

40
Q

Molar Mass

A

the mass in grams of 1 mol of a substance or formula units.

CO2 -> 44.01amu, 44.01, formula mass, and 44.01 molar mass

41
Q

Mass Percent Composition(Mass Percent)

A

an elements % of the compounds totals

CCl2F2

mass % Cl = ((2)(molar mass Cl)/Molar mass CCl2F2) * 100

42
Q

Elemental Analysis

A

Used to take data and turn it into a chemical formula.

base sample out of 100g, use %s as subscripts for components, divide each by their molar mass, divide by the lowest number of a component to get whole numbers(Empirical Formula)

43
Q

Determine Molecular Formula from Empirical Formula

A

Empirical formula = CH
Molecular Weight = 78.1134g/mol

fivide by CH weight(13.02g/mol)

78.1134/13.02 = 6
