A sample of a compound contains 1.27g of Cu and 0.16g of O. Calculate the empirical formula (relative mass = Cu =63.5 and 0=16)
1.27 / 63.5 =0.02 (Copper moles)
0.16 / 16 =0.01 (Oxygen moles)
now create a ratio by dividing the mole numbers by the smallest number between then to. The smallest number is 0.01 so we are going to divide both numbers by 0.01.
0.02/0.01 =2
0.01/0.01 =1
empirical formula is 2:1
what is the step by step?
Mass / Ar value to get moles
divide by smallest number to get ratio
