40% carbon
Calculate the percent composition of Cl in CCl2F2.

Chemical formula that is a simplified version of the given molecular formula
Empirical formula
Chemical formula that is the actual molecular structure of the given compound.
Molecular formula
A chemical compound always contains the same elements in exactly the
same proportions by weight or mass
Law of Definite Proportions
Mass cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical
changes.
Ex – the total mass of reactants will equal the total mass of the products
Law of Conservation of Mass
A pure sample of sodium fluoride (NaF) contains 35 g of sodium. How many grams of fluorine are
present in this sample?
29 grams
When two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the mass
of one element that combines with a given mass of the other is in the ratio of small whole numbers
Ex – CO and CO2 (both contain the same two elements but are combined differently)
Law of Multiple Proportions
