Empirical Formula: From Percentage to Formula

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Starting with definitions of empirical and molecular formulas, this slide show guides pupils through the ways to calculate and produce chemical formulas as percentages and molar ratios. A number of examples are given for viewers to try solving. The appearance of the slides is quite bland, but the content is pertinent and the practice will be productive.
