Definitions:
Percent Composition: the percentage by mass of each element
in a compound
Empirical Formula a chemical formula that shows the composition
of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in
the simplest ratio
Molecular Formula a chemical formula that shows the number
and kinds of atoms in a molecule, but not the arrangement of the atoms

How to calculate the percent composition of a compound.
1. Calculate the mass of each element in the compound. For example if
the compound contains 3 oxygen atoms the mass of the oxygen in the
compound is 16.0 x 3 = 48
2. Calculate the gram molar mass of the whole compound. For example if
the compound was CaSO3, the total mass would be 40.1 from calcium + 32.0
from sulfur and 48.0 from oxygen. The total would be 40.1 + 32.0 + 48.0 for
A total mass of 120.1.
3. Follow the formula on your Reference Table:
Mass of the part is step 1, mass of the whole is step 2.

Calculating Empirical Formula
1. Set up the problem by each element
2. divide each element quantity by its gram molar mass from the
periodic table
3. Look at each answer and divide the smallest answer into each
elements answer.
4. This will produce the ratio of each element in the empirical formula
5. If ratio is not whole numbers increase all answers by a factor
to create whole numbers
6. Write empirical formula

Calculating Molecular Formula
1. Calculate the empirical formula if not given.
2. Calculate the empirical formulas gram formula mass
3. Divide the molecular formulas gram formula mass by the molecular
formulas gram formula mass. This will give you a factor number that
you must increase the ratio of the empirical formula by.
