Which step would help a student find the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula?

Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the value of the ratio of the molar mass of the compound to the empirical molar mass of the compound.

Subtract the value of the ratio of the molar mass of the compound to the empirical molar mass of the compound from the subscripts of the empirical formula.

Divide the subscripts of the empirical formula by the value of the ratio of the molar mass of the compound to the empirical molar mass of the compound.

Add the value of the ratio of the molar mass of the compound to the empirical molar mass of the compound to the subscripts of the empirical formula.

Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. How can he check his result?

by making sure they are in the lowest ratio

by adding them to see if they total 100

by checking that they are whole-number multiples

by dividing them by the molar mass

The empirical formula for a compound is CH2. If n is a whole number, which shows a correct relationship between the molecular formula and the empirical formula?

empirical formula mass / molecular mass = n

molecular mass = element mass / empirical formula mass ´ 100

subscript of H in empirical formula = 2 subscript of H in molecular formula

subscript of C in molecular formula = n subscript of C in empirical formula
