The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms forming the compound.
Molecular formulas are formulas that show the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
The principle of determining empirical formulas and molecular formulas
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the element mass with the relative atomic mass obtained by the empirical formula
- Determine the molecular formula by looking for the value n
The molecular formula of Caffeine is C₈H₁₀N₄O₂
From this we can see that the mole ratio of each constituent element of caffeine is:
C: H: N: O = 8: 10: 4: 2
Search for moles of forming elements based on the index of elements in the molecule
1. In 2.8 moles of caffeine molecules there is hydrogen = 10 x 2.8 mol = 28 moles
2. In 2.0 moles of caffeine molecules there is carbon = 8 x 2.0 mol = 16 moles
3. In 0.4 moles of caffeine molecules there is nitrogen = 4 x 0.4 mol = 1.6 moles
4. In 3.5 moles of caffeine molecules there is oxygen = 2 x 3.5 mol = 7 moles
