![]() That is how percent composition, Empirical formulas, and Molecular formulas are calculated. The Molecular formula and Empirical formula would be C4N5O4. So if the molecular formula is C6H12O6 then the empirical formula would be CH2O. The empirical formula is the simplified version of the molecular formula. If molar numbers such as 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.7 or 0.6 are given multiply all numbers by two in till numbers are close to a whole number. Repeat this process for all elements, then divide all products by the smallest product to get molar numbers. Secondly multiply the mass of the single element by 1 mole divided by that elements molar number. ![]() First step of finding Molecular formulas is to divide the mass of the element given by one. For example 50%C and 50%O would be 50 grams oxygen and 50 grams Carbon. In Molecular formula equations if percentages are only given for each element assume the sample is a hundred grams.
