www.shsph.blogspot.com 11 General Chemistry 1 Quarter 1 - Module 7 Calculating Formula Mass, Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula 1 www.shsph.blogspot.com What I Need to Know? This module was prepared to guide you on how to write the formula mass, molecular mass and empirical formula of a given compound properly and correctly. Knowing the process of writing the said formulas of various compounds will help us to determine the actual mass and proportion of the elements that make up the compound. In addition, familiarization on the process on measuring the formula mass, molecular mass or empirical formula could help people who are involved in chemical-related industries to double check if the amount of the elements in a compound as indicated in their product labels are true and valid. The scope of this module covers many different learning situations where students could relate their personal experiences on different compounds. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using. After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. calculate molecular formula given the molar mass, (STEM_GC11PClf-33). 2. calculate the empirical formula from the percent composition of a compound, (STEM_GC11PCif-32).

DIRECTION: Rest for 1 minute then you may start reading the lesson 1 below about the chemical formula and chemical name of compounds. Lesson Formula Mass and Molecular Mass 1 Chemistry is a subject that involves a lot of concepts and formulas. Some concepts are confusing for some people because of their similarities in terms of the wordings. Three concepts which may confuse us are formula mass, molecular mass and molar mass. For a beginner student, these concepts are quite confusing to 3 www.shsph.blogspot.com them. But how is formula mass different from molecular mass and molar mass? Is there any difference among those concepts? This module will discuss the method of writing the formula mass or molecular of a given compound considering the type of chemical bond exist in the said compound properly and correctly. What’s In? LET US HAVE SOME FUN! Formula Analysis. Analyze the figures below then answer the corresponding guide questions. NaCl NO2 Figure A Figure B Guide Questions 1. Which figure show compound whose atoms are bonded by covalent bond? 2. What do we call to the formula represented by figures A and B? 3. What type of compound is in figure A? HOLD ON AMIGO!!! DIRECTION: After you analyze the given picture and answered the guide questions, let us proceed to what’s new. Read the direction carefully. 4 www.shsph.blogspot.com What’s New? (Communication) IMPORTANT VOCABULARY WORDS Read the description of important terms that you will encounter in this module. VOCABULARY WORD MEANING 1. Mas number It means characteristics, traits or qualities. 2. Molecular formula A formula that gives number of atoms of each element present in a molecule. HOLD ON AMIGO!!! DIRECTION: After finding out the meaning of important terms that you will encounter as you read the next part, make time to read the formula mass and molecular mass below thoroughly. What is Formula Mass and Molecular Mass? Formula Mass and Molecular Mass Formula mass is used for compounds that are made up of ions and have primarily ionic bonding. While Molecular mass or known as molar mass is used for compounds that are composed of molecules and have primarily covalent bonding. The term formula mass is suitable to use as it can be used for both ionic and covalent compounds. Molecular mass will only be used for covalent compounds. How to Write the Formula Mass of a Compound? Compound A substance which is made up of two or more atoms joined together by a chemical bond. Compounds may be classified into two based from the nature of the atoms that make up them, and the type of intramolecular bond that exist between atoms. The two classification of compounds are ionic compound and covalent compound. The ionic compound is formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom, and the type of intramolecular bond exist between atoms is ionic bond due to 5 www.shsph.blogspot.com the presence of ionic charges. Example of this is sodium chloride which is made up of metal sodium and nonmetal chlorine. Na+1 + Cl-1 Na 1 Cl 1 or NaCl Sodium Chlorine Sodium chloride The covalent compound is formed between two or more nonmetal atoms, and the type of intramolecular bond that exist between atoms is covalent bond. Example of this is Carbon tetrachloride. Cl C + Cl Cl C Cl Cl Carbon Chlorine Carbon tetrachloride So, in using the term formula mass or molecular mass, you must determine first the intramolecular bond that exists between atoms of compounds. How is Mass Number different from Formula Mass? If mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, the formula mass is the sum of all mass numbers of the atoms that make up the compound. The mass number is very important in determining the formula mass of a certain compound. The mass number of each element can be seen in the periodic table. Below shows the mass number of element nitrogen in the periodic table which is 14.007 or 14.0 u. The mass number is always rounded off to the nearest tenths that is why the value of the mass number of nitrogen is 14.0 instead of 14.007. The symbol u means unified mass number unit or unified atomic mass unit that is used in all formula mass units. ATOMIC NUMBER MASS NUMBER 6 www.shsph.blogspot.com Can you determine the mass number of the following elements in the periodic table? 1. Ca - __________________________ 3. Cu - ___________________________ 2. Si - ___________________________ 4. P - ____________________________ If your answer to the mass number of Phosphorous is 31.0 u then you are correct. As seen in the periodic table, the mass number of phosphorous is 30.974 and has to be rounded off to 31.0 u. Important Steps in Solving the Formula Mass of a Compound In writing the formula mass of a compound, do the following steps below. We will use Al(OH) 3 as an example. Step 1. List down the atoms involved in the formula which are represented by chemical symbol. Write this in downward manner in the first column. Atom Al O H Step 2. Determine the number of atoms in the formula. Write this in the second column. Consider the subscript which is written outside the parenthesis. Atom Number of Atoms Al 1 O 3 H 3 Note that the number of oxygen atom and hydrogen atom have increased by 3 because of the subscript located outside the parenthesis. The subscript will only affect the atoms inside the parenthesis which can be seen in (OH) 3 of Al(OH) 3. Step 3. Write the mass number of each element in the third column. Atom Number of Atoms Mass number Al 1 27.0 u O 3 16.0 u H 3 1.0 u 7 www.shsph.blogspot.com Step 4. Multiply the number of each atom to its mass number to determine the total mass number of each atom. Write this in the fourth column. Atom Number of Atoms Mass number Total mass number of each atom Al 1 27.0 u 27.0 u O 3 16.0 u 48.0 u H 3 1.0 u 3.0 u Step 5. Get the sum of all total masses to determine the formula mass of Al(OH) 3. Atom Number of Atoms Mass number Total mass number of each atom Al 1 27.0 u 27.0 u O 3 16.0 u 48.0 u H 3 1.0 u 3.0 u___ 78.0 u Therefore, the formula mass of Al(OH) 3 is 78.0 u.

Read the direction carefully. What’s New? (Communication) IMPORTANT VOCABULARY WORDS Read the description of important terms that you will encounter in this module. VOCABULARY WORD MEANING 1. Ratio It is the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contain or is contained with the other. 2. Atomic Mass The number of the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of the atom. 12 www.shsph.blogspot.com HOLD ON AMIGO!!! DIRECTION: After finding out the meaning of important terms that you will encounter as you read the next part, make time to read the formula mass and molecular mass below thoroughly. What is Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula? Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula Empirical Formula is the lowest whole-numbered ratio of the elements in a compound. While Molecular Formula is the actual composition of a compound indicating the number of atoms per element; number of moles of each kind of atom per mole of compound. How to Calculate the Empirical Formula? In calculating the empirical formula of a compound, do the following steps below. We will refer to the sample problem below. SAMPLE PROBLEM: Determine the empirical formula of a compound whose percentage composition is 50.05% S and 49.95% O by mass. Step 1. Use 100 g of the compound as basis of calculation. Meaning there will be 50.05 g would be atoms of Sulfur and 49.95 g would be atoms of Oxygen. Step 2. Convert the given mass of each atom into their equivalent mole. To do this, convert the given mass of atom in the compound by using the mole of the atom as the conversion factor. Given Mass of Atom Mole of Atom Equivalent Mole of Atom 50.05 g S 1 mol of S atoms = 1.56 mol of S atoms 32.1 g S 49.95 g O 1 mol of O atoms = 3.12 mol of O atoms 16.0 g O Let us use Sulfur to determine the calculation process. First the given mass of sulfur is 50.05 g was multiply to 1 mol of S atoms. You may refer to the red straight arrow. The answer is 50.05 g S. mol of S atoms. Then the 50.05 g S. mol of S atoms was divided by 32.1 g S. You may refer to the red curved arrow. The answer is 1.56 mol of S atoms. The mole of atom is based on the mass number of the atom as indicated in the periodic table. The mass number of sulfur in the periodic table is 32.1 or 32. 13 www.shsph.blogspot.com Given Mass of Atom Mole of Atom Equivalent Mole of Atom 50.05 g S 1 mol of S atoms = 1.56 mol of S atoms 32.1 g S Step 3. The equivalent value of mole of each atom will be used as the subscript. Therefore, the formula maybe written as S 1.56 O 3.12 , but this formula does not have whole-number subscripts. One way to get a formula with whole-number subscript is to divide all the subscripts by the smallest subscript. S :1.56 = 1 and O : 3.12 = 2 1.56 1.56 Therefore, the empirical formula is S 1 O 2 or SO 2 because it has the lowest possible ratio of whole-numbered subscript. The chemical name of the compound is Sulfur dioxide. How to Calculate the Molecular Formula? In calculating the molecular formula of a compound, do the following steps below. We will refer to the sample problem below. SAMPLE PROBLEM: A sample is found to have 40.0% C, 6.6% H and 53.4% O by mass. The molecular mass of the compound is 180. What its empirical and molecular formulas? Step 1. Use 100 g of the compound as basis of calculation. Meaning there will be 40.0 g would be atoms of Carbon, 6.6 g would be atoms of Hydrogen and 53.4 g would be atoms of Oxygen. Step 2. Convert the given mass of each atom into their equivalent mole. To do this, convert the given mass of atom in the compound by using the mole of the atom as the conversion factor. Given Mass of Atom Mole of Atom Equivalent Mole of Atom 40.0 g C 1 mol of C atoms = 3.33 mol of C atoms 12.0 g C 6.6 g H 1 mol of H atoms = 6.6 mol of H atoms 1.0 g H 53.4 g O 1 mol of O atoms = 3.33 mol of O atoms 16.0 g O Step 3. The equivalent value of mole of each atom will be used as the subscript. Therefore, the formula maybe written as C 3.33 H 6.6 O 3.33. , but this formula does not 14 www.shsph.blogspot.com have whole-number subscripts. One way to get a formula with whole-number subscript is to divide all the subscripts by the smallest subscript. C :3.33 = 1 H : 6.6 = 2 O : 3.33 = 1 3.33 3.33 3.33 Therefore, the empirical formula is C 1 H 2 O 1 or CH 2 O because it has the lowest possible ratio of whole-numbered subscript. But what is the molecular formula? Step 4. Divide the molecular mass of the compound which is 180 by its molecular mass by empirical formula which is CH 2 O. The molecular mass of CH 2 O is 30 g/mol. Molecular Mass of compound divided by Molecular Mass of CH 2 O 80 / 30 =6 Step 5. Multiply the empirical formula (CH 2 O) by 6 would produce a molecular formula of C 6 H 12 O 6 HOLD ON AMIGO!!!
