Chemistry in a Nutshell

The empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound, but how do we find it? This video walks through the process of determining empirical formulas from percent composition and experimental data. You’ll also see why empirical formulas are important and how they differ from molecular formulas. Practice problems! Use mass OR percent composition data to find empirical formulas.
