General Chemistry - Empirical Formula From Mass Percent | 3.3 General Chemistry

Empirical Formula from Mass Percent Chad begins this lesson by distinguishing between molecular and empirical formulas showing an example in which they are different and an example in which they are one and the same. The lesson then covers how a molecular formula can be used to calculate mass percent for the various elements comprising the compound. Finally, the lesson concludes with the exact opposite situation in which the mass percentages are used to determine the empirical and molecular formulas of a compound. I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page.
