how do you work out relative formula mass of a compound
use the mass number of the elements and add them together.
if there’s a smaller number, times the symbol it’s attached to.
if it’s in a bracket, times all the symbols in the brackets.
how to find the empirical formula
mass / relative atomic mass
that gives you moles, then you turn it into a ratio?
then you divide by the smallest number, so it will have 1 somewhere.
put each number you get next to the symbol
moles equ
mass / relative atomic mass
concentration equ
moles / volume
relative atomic mass equ
mass / moles
