How to find the Molecular Formula of a Chemical Compound

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the molecular formula from the empirical formula. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between molecular and empirical formulas, and provides a step-by-step guide to performing the calculations. The tutorial includes two examples: one with NO2 and another with C2H3O, demonstrating how to determine the molecular formula by comparing molar masses and adjusting subscripts accordingly.

What is the relationship between the molecular formula and the empirical formula?

How do you calculate the empirical molar mass from the empirical formula?

What does it indicate if the result of dividing the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass is a whole number?

In the example with the empirical formula NO2, how do you determine the molecular formula?

What steps are involved in finding the molecular formula from the empirical formula C2H3O with a molar mass of 172g per mole?
