Calculate the percent composition be mass H,P, and O in this compound.H3PO4(3X1.008)+30.97+(4x16.00)= 97.99g/mol% H= (3 x 1.008) X 100% = 3.09%97.99% P= 30.97 X 100 %= 31.6 % 97.99%O= (4x16) X 100%= 65.3% 97.993.09%+31.6%+65.3%= 99.99%Percent composition and Empirical FormulasMass % (Convert to grams & ÷ by molar mass)Moles of each element (÷ by smallest # of moles)Mole ratios by elements (change to integer subscripts)Empirical Formula Example 3: Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) cures scurvy. It is composed of 40.92 percent carbon (C). 4.58 percent hydrogen (H), and 54.50 percent oxygen (O) by mass. Determine its empirical formula. Assume 100g of ascorbic acid Step 1: C 40.92 g X 1 mol C = 3.41 Mol C12.01g CH 4.58 g X 1 mol H = 4.54 Mol H 1.008 g H O 54.54 g X 1mol O = 3.41 Mol O16.00 gOStep 2:C 3.41÷ 3.41 = 1H 4.54÷ 3.41 = 1.33 C1H1.33O1 O 3.41÷ 3.41= 1We need to convert 1.33, the subscript for H, into an integer. This can be done by trial and error.1.33 × 1 = 1.331.33 × 2 = 2.661.33 × 3= 3.99 ≈ 4Because 1.33 × 3 gives us an integer (4) we multiply all the subscripts by 3 and you’ll get C3H4O3Example 4: Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is a principal mineral of copper.
