Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.
