Empiricle formula is the simplest formula of a
compound or molecule that you can get.
E.g. 'find the empiricle formula of the iron oxide used'
Mass of empty container= 32g
Mass of container+iron oxide= 96g
Mass of container+iron= 76.8g
Fe= 76.8 - 32 = 44.8g
O= 96 - 76.8 = 19.2g
1. find amounts of each in Q
2. Find their atomic mass from periodic table
Fe= 56g
O= 16g
3. Amount in Q / Atomic mass
Fe= 44.8 / 56 = 0.8g
O= 19.2 / 16 = 1.2g
4. Work out ratios
0.8 / 1.2 = 2/3
2:3
5. Apply it to the empiricle formula
Fe2O3
Calculating masses in reactions
1. Write out the balanced equation
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Q= Calculate the maximum mass of
magnesium oxide that could be produced in
the reaction when 10g of magnesium is
burnt in air.
2. For the bit you want (in Q), put a ? under it and work out all relative formula
masses. Then divide the known side by amount in Q (10) and do the same with the
answer to the unknown.
2Mg= 48g O2= 32g 2MgO= 80g
80 / 4.8= 16.67g
(put ? under this as 2MgO is the unknown in the Q)
48 / 10= 4.8
(10 from Q)
Percentage Yield= actual
yield (g) / theoretical yield (g) x100
Moles
The mole is simply the name given to a certain number
a mole= 602, 300, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 or 6.023 x 10^23
Mr= compound relative atomic mass
Ar= element relative atomic mass
Carbon has an Ar of 12, so one mole of carbon weighs exactly 12g
Nitrogen gas has an Mr of 28 (2x14) so one mole of N2 weighs exactly 28g
One mole of an atom or molecules of any substance will
have a mass in grams equal to the relative formula mass (Ar
or Mr) for that substance.
Number of Moles=

Water of Crystalisation
All solid salts consist of a lattice of positive and negative ions
In some salts, water molecules are incoorperated in the lattice too
Salts can be anhydrous
(doesn't contain water) or
hydrated (contains water)
A student removed the water of crystalisation from MgSO4xH2O to produce anhydrous salt MgSO4.
Mass of empty crucible= 42.000g Mass of crucible+MgSO4xH2O= 45.210g Mass of crucible+MgSO4= 43.567g
Calculate mass of hydrated salt MgSO4xH2O: 45.210 - 42= 3.21g
Calculate the mass of the anhydrous salt MgSO4: 43.567 - 42= 1.567
3.21 - 1.567= 1.643g
Work out the value of x in the formula MgSO4xH2O
(Q weights) MgSO4= 1.567g
(Periodic Table) 24+32+16+16+16= 120g
(ratio) 1.567 / 120 = 0.013
1:7 ---> x=7
(Q weights) H2O= 1.643g
(periodic Table) 1+1+16= 18g
(ratio) 1.643 / 18 = 0.091
1:7 ---> x=7
Moles and concentration
Concentration is the amount of stuff per unit of volume
Concentration= no. of moles / volume
E.g. What's the concentration
of a solution with 2 moles of
potassium iodide in 500cm3?
