Front

What is stoichiometry?

Back

Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the conservation of mass.

Front

Define molecular formula.

Back

A molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.

Front

Define empirical formula.

Back

An empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.

Front

How do you determine the molecular formula from the empirical formula?

Back

To find the molecular formula, multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by a whole number that makes the molar mass of the compound equal to the given molar mass.
