QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: Name:
Unit 6, SEGMENT C Date:
After watching the video and performing any associated labs and/or experiments, you should be able
to answer the following:
1. What is the volume of a mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure?
4. If the molar volume of one mole of carbon dioxide is 22.41 liters, what is the molar volume of two moles of carbon
dioxide at standard temperature and pressure?
6. The simplest ratio of the elements in a chemical formula is known as the empirical formula. If a compound exists
with the following formula, C12H24O12, what is its empirical formula?
7. Percent composition is the percentage by mass of each element in a compound. The empirical formula of copper
sulfide is Cu2S. Calculate the percent composition by mass of copper in Cu2S.
To determine the empirical formula of a compound, we sometimes use a rhyme to remind us of the steps in the
calculation.
Percent to mass
Mass to mole
Divide by smallest
Multiply until whole
8. Use these steps to find the empirical formula of a compound that is 25.9% N and 74.1% O.
9. Unlike an empirical formula, the molecular formula states the exact number and type of each atom present in a
molecule. Show the three steps needed to calculate the molecular formula for ethylene.
10. If the empirical formula of ethylene is CH2, find the molecular formula if the molecular mass is 28.1 g/mol
