Molar Mass Describes the mass of 1 mole of a substance We obtain the Molar Mass (MM) from the periodic table by assigning different units to the atomic mass. Instead of assigning the atomic mass units of amu, we assign the atomic mass units of grams per 1 mole. Molar mass is the conversion factor between mass and moles. 4-4 Practice - Molar Mass Complete the table.

Empirical Formulas from Percent Composition 4-22 Finding Empirical Formulas To find the empirical formula: 1. If starting with a percent composition, find the mass of the element by assigning the percent composition (which has no units but a % instead) the units of grams. If starting with another set of units, then convert the units to masses if necessary. 2. Convert from mass to moles using the MM of the element. 4-23 Finding Empirical Formulas To find the empirical formula cont d: 3. Repeat for all elements in the compound. 4. Find whole number subscripts by: 1. Dividing the moles of the each element by the smallest number of moles. The quotients will give whole numbers which are now the subscripts for the empirical formula. 2. If #1 does not give whole numbers, then multiply all numbers by a multiplier that will resolve the quotients into whole numbers. 4-24 8
