Empirical Formula

Empirical Formula

 The simplest formula of a compound which shows the simplest whole number ratio of atom of each element present in the molecules of that compound is called as Empirical Formula .

for example :

                     

                   Molecular Formula of gulucose IS C₆H₁₂O₆ and empirical formula is 1:2:1

Empirical Formula mass

                                       Empirical Formula mass of a compound is equal to the sum of the atomic masses of all the atom present in the empirical formula.

For example

Molecular Formula of gulucose IS C₆H₁₂O₆ Empirical Formula mass  is 6+12+6=24
