Empirical Formula of Organic Compounds

          The empirical formula of an organic compound(any substance that contains carbon) can be found by
             -Burning the compound(reacting it with O2).
             -Collecting ang weighing the products.
             
             -From the mass of the product,the moles of each element in theoriginal organic compound can be calculated.

%Composition to Empirical Formula

         From the % composition, the ratio of moles can be dertermined . This will lead to the empirical formula.
        Assume 100.0g of material.
        Convert all % is to grams.
        Convert all grams to moles.
        Divide all moles by the smallest.

Value,this will give an X:1 ratio to determine the empirical formula.
