3 Percent Composition of a Compound Percent Composition of a Compound How do you calculate the percent composition of a compound? 3

4 Percent Composition of a Compound The relative amounts of the elements in a compound are expressed as the percent composition or the percent by mass of each element in the compound 4

5 Percent Composition of a Compound The percent composition of potassium chromate, K 2 CrO 4, is: K = 403% Cr = 268% O = 329% 5

6 Percent Composition of a Compound These percents must total 100% K = 403% Cr = 268% + O = 329% 100% 6

7 Percent Composition of a Compound These percents must total 100% The percent composition of a compound is always the same 7

8 Percent Composition of a Compound Percent Composition from Mass Data If you know the relative masses of each element in a compound, you can calculate the percent composition of the compound 8

9 Percent Composition of a Compound Percent Composition from Mass Data The percent by mass of an element in a compound is the number of grams of the element divided by the mass in grams of the compound, multiplied by 100% % by mass of element = mass of element mass of compound 100% 9

35 Empirical Formulas 35 The empirical formula of a compound gives the lowest whole-number ratio of the atoms or moles of the elements in a compound An empirical formula may or may not be the same as a molecular formula For example, the lowest ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is 1:1 Thus, the empirical formula of hydrogen peroxide is HO The molecular formula, H 2 O 2, has twice the number of atoms as the empirical formula Notice that the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is still the same, 1:1

36 Empirical Formulas For carbon dioxide, the empirical and molecular formulas are the same CO 2 36
