    8:50, should explain why you're converted to grams (since you'll need it to calculate oxygen later on), cos as is, you get .188, which you end up getting later in the video, 11:51. same with hydrogen, 10:05, explain that we need this to calculate oxygen, since as is, you end up getting .501 12:19

    @i_1mpuls3 4 года назад +2

    A simpler way to figure out the empirical formula would be to find the composition percentage of carbon in carbon dioxide and hydrogen in dihydrogen monoxide (H2O).
    Then, divide the percentages by 100 so that you can then multiply that number by the amount of mass that is given for CO2 and H2O
    Then, you'll have the amount of grams of carbon and the amount of grams of hydrogen.
    To convert grams to moles just use the formula; number of moles=mass/molar mass. So, divide the amount of grams of carbon by the molar mass of carbon and divide the amount of grams of hydrogen by the molar mass of hydrogen.
    Now you have the quantities of both carbon and hydrogen in moles.
    Next, divide both mole values by the smaller one. The answer you get will be your coefficient for that element within the compound.
    If even one of your coefficients is not a whole number, keep on doing trial and error by multiplying that decimal number by two, then three, then four, and so on until you get a whole number.
    If you end up with something like 11.9 after doing trial and error, you can simply round that to 12. If u get something like 11.1, round that to 11. If u get something like 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, or 11.8, you would have to multiply both the coefficients for carbon and hydrogen by a factor that would make that decimal number a whole number. For example, 11.8×5=59✔️
    Then you can write out your empirical formula with your obtained coefficients.
    Now if you want the molecular formula from this, use the formula molecular formula factor=mass of compound (always given)/empirical molar mass. If you've done it right, you should always get a whole number for this factor.
    Simply multiply your coefficients by that factor and now you have your molecular formula as well.
    Thank you for coming to my ted talk hehe, have a great day!

      Snooyy UPnHere very late, but for the second one, you notice how the complete compound has a mass in g? Well in order to find the missing mass of oxygen you everything else you subtract also needs to be converted to grams because of the mass of the compound is also in grams. If you were to use moles instead it wouldn’t work because moles and grams are two different things and cannot be combined. Make sense?
