January 18, 200620 yr How do you do the imperial formula? i'm having a hard time doing it and not sure if im doing it right. im about 75% sure that im doing it wrong.
January 18, 200620 yr How do you do the imperial formula? i'm having a hard time doing it and not sure if im doing it right. im about 75% sure that im doing it wrong. IIRC it's reducing Say you have C6H14 You'd reduce that from 6:14 to 3:7 I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
January 18, 200620 yr It's the empirical formula (not imperial) and it is as said before, like reducing a fraction of 3/6ths to 1/2. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
January 19, 200620 yr Author we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygen
January 19, 200620 yr we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygenWhat exactly is the question? If you're given elemental composition then you don't just divide you have to go through conversions and moles and stuff like that. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.
January 19, 200620 yr we have to do some math equation to get it though like 3.6g of carbo, .9 hydrogen and 2.4g of oxygen Find the moles of carbon (3.6g Carbon/ 12g/mol Carbon), hydrogen, and oxygen. Then use the ratios. I'm not going ot give any more help because you need to learn this yourself... you won't have a forum to bail you out on a test.

January 19, 200620 yr Author thanks insane thats the help i need. and the only reason im asking this question on tipit is cause i didnt want to cheat off my brother who finished the worksheet. or get my teacher to explain the whole problem till he gives me the answer and not learn how to get the answer by myself so i could remember it alot easier with out looking at my notes the whole time and not be lost on a test without my notes. Along with the fact that i wanted to make sure i was doing the problems right which it turns out i was doing it right So THANKS TO WHO EVER HELP ME.
