	Chemical formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its chemical formula can be rendered as CH If there were a double bond between the carbon atoms (and thus each carbon only had two hydrogens), the chemical formula may be written: CH, and the fact that there is a double bond between the carbons is assumed.
		In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical is a simple expression of the relative number of each type of atom or ratio of the elements in it.
		The term empirical refers to the process of elemental analysis, a technique of analytical chemistry used to determine the relative percent composition of a pure chemical substance by element.

		Formulas of compounds are used in writing the equations (see chemical equations) that represent chemical reactions.
		Water is made up of molecules, and the formula shows that each molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen, H, bonded to an atom of oxygen, O. The subscript 2 indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen in the molecule; where no subscript appears, as after the O, the subscript 1 is implied.

	Stoichiometry
		There are two types of percent composition problems-- problems in which you are given the formula (or the weight of each part) and asked to calculate the percentage of each element and problems in which you are given the percentages and asked to calculate the formula.
		While the empirical formula is the simplest form of a compound, the molecular formula is the form of the term as it would appear in a chemical equation.
		It is also possible to do this with one of the elements in the formula; simply divide the mass of that element in one mole of compound by the mass of that element in the empirical formula.

		On the other hand, the molecular formula of a compound may or may not be the same as its empirical formula.
		Once the empirical formula is determined, the molecular formula is easily found if the molar mass (molecular weight) of the molecule is also known.
		That number is the factor by which all subscripts in the empirical formula must be multiplied to obtain the molecular formula.

	Empirical Formula by Syntheis
		Before the chemical formula of a compound can be known, the mass or the percent of each element in a sample of the compound must be experimentally determined in the laboratory.
		The empirical formula (simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound) represents not only the composition of a single unit of the compound, but also the overall composition of a much larger sample as well.

	Procedure for Calculating Empirical Formulas of Compounds
		The empirical formula of a chemical substance is the substance stated with its elements noted as the smallest ratio of atoms (or lowest common subscripts).
		If the results of (3) involves only whole numbers, then the whole numbers indicate the atom ratio and should be used as the appropriate subscripts for writing the empirical formula of the compound.
		The whole numbers obtained are used as the subscripts for writing the empirical formula of the compound.

		By now you should know that a molecular formula is a group of elemental symbols, and possibly subscript numbers, which represent the composition of a molecule.
		While the molecular formula shows the molecule as it actually exists, the empirical formula for a compound shows the simplest whole number ratio for the elements in the compounds.
		To find the empirical formula for a compound, find the largest whole number that can be divided into each of the subscripts evenly.
