The general relation between both the empirical and molecular formula is, (Molecular Formula = n Empirical Formula). This can be used for finding both the empirical formula and the molecular m\formula of the compound. n in the relation represents the ratio of molecular mass and empirical mass of the compound.
What is the difference an empirical formula and molecular formula? An empirical formula gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. A molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound. It can be the same as the compounds molecular formula - but not always. An empirical formula can be calculated from information about the mass of each element in a compound or from the percentage composition.
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a compound, while the empirical formula mass is the mass of one mole of a compounds empirical formula, which represents the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in the compound.
For example: a molecule of hydrogen peroxide is made up of two atoms of O and two atoms of H bonded togetherthe molecular formula is thus H2O2. Since the simplest ratio of H and O atoms is 1:1, the empirical formula (though not the actual arrangement of atoms within the molecule) is HO.
