Quick Recap — Percentage Composition & Formulae

  • Mass % of an element =mass of element in 1 molmolar mass×100=\dfrac{\text{mass of element in 1 mol}}{\text{molar mass}}\times100.
  • Empirical formula: simplest whole-number ratio of atoms; molecular formula =(empirical)n=(\text{empirical})_n.
  • Vapour density: M=2×VDM=2\times VD.
  • At STP: V=n×22.4V=n\times22.4 L; moles of atoms in a molecule = (atoms per molecule) ×\times moles.
