molar mass (grams)
1 mole equals how many particles?
6.022 × 10^23
What is the order that you convert masses in?
g – moles – molecules – atoms

What is the Empirical formula?
The Empirical formula is a compound’s formula in it’s lowest whole number ratios.
Are ionic compounds already at their lowest whole number ratios?
Yes
Are covalent compounds already at their lowest whole number ratios?
No
What are the steps to find the Empirical Formula?
- Convert to moles
- Divide each number by the smallest mole number
- Multiply by a factor to get a whole number ratio
What is the Molecular formula?
The molecular formula is a compound’s formula at it’s exact composition. It IS NOT reduced!
To find the Molecular formula, what do you need?
you need the molar mass of the compound
