Lesson: Empirical and Molecular Formulas Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to define, determine, and convert between a compound’s empirical and molecular formulas.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

determine the empirical formula of a compound from its molecular formula or the number of atoms present,
use a compound’s empirical formula and molecular mass to determine its molecular formula,
use experimental results to determine the molecular or empirical formula of a compound.
