Calculate the molecular mass of
water (H2O)
H = 2 Hydrogen atoms
O = 1 Oxygen atoms
Solution:
Find the atomic mass of each element in the
compound.
H2O
H = 1.008 amu O = 16 amu
Solution:
molar mass of H2O = 2(1.008 amu) + (16 amu)
= 18.02 g/mol
= 3.008 + 16
PERCENT COMPOSITION
PREPARED BY;
MR. REYMARK R. CLEOPAS
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the student are expected to;
a. calculate the percent composition of a compound
from its formula;
b. calculate the empirical formula from the percent
composition of a compound; and,
c. cite the importance of percent composition of a
compound in real life situation.
Is the percent by mass of the
elements that make up a
compound.
Calculate the percent composition of the
compound H2O
= weighs 18.02 g
H = 2 Hydrogen atoms
O = 1 Oxygen atoms
H = 1.008 amu
O = 16 amu
PERCENT COMPOSITION…
Solution:
% composition of H in H2O
2 (1.008 g)
18.02 g
X 100%
=
2.016 g
18.02 g
X 100%
=
= 11.19 %
PERCENT COMPOSITION…
Solution:
% composition of O in H2O
1 (16 g)
18.02 g
X 100%
=
16 g
18.02 g
X 100%
=
= 88.79 %
PERCENT COMPOSITION…
Is the simplest formula for a
compound which is defined as the
ratio of subscripts of the smallest
possible whole number of the
elements present in the formula.
EMPIRICAL FORMULA…
%composition of an element =
no. of atoms
atomic weight
Formula:
Solution:
EMPIRICAL FORMULA…
STEP 1
11.19 g H
2 mol H
1.008 g H
= 22.2 mol H
Hydrogen
88.79 g O
1 mol H
16 g H
= 5.54 mol O
Oxygen
EMPIRICAL FORMULA…
STEP 2
H = 22.2
5.54
= 4.0
O = 5.54
5.54
= 1
Multiply the
results by the
smallest integer
that makes the
values whole
numbers.
EMPIRICAL FORMULA…
H = 4.0 x 1 = 4
O = 1 x 1 = 1
Thus, the empirical formula of H2O is
H4O
Marites a Grade 11 student of St. Joseph, conduct an
experiment about the effectivity of ammonia (NH3) as one
of the compound in her pesticides for her botanical
garden. Help her to calculate the,
a. molecular mass of the compound.
b. % composition of the compound from its formula.
c. empirical formula of the compound from its
% composition.
Direction: Answer the following items in a
1 whole sheet of paper.
(5 pts. each)
1. What is the empirical formula of a
compound found to contain 13.5g Ca, 10.8g
O, and 0.675g H? Show your solution.
2. Calculate the empirical formula of
NutraSweet, which is found to have 57.14%
C, 6.16% H, 9.52% N, and 27.18% O. Show
your solution.
3. Briefly explain the relationship of percent composition
and empirical formula.
Thank You!
