2) Empirical formula is C4H5N2O. The empirical formula weight is about 97.1, which gives a scaling factor of two. 3) The molecular formula is C8H10N4O2. There is another technique which reverses the calculation order. In the above examples the empirical formula was calculated first, then the molecular formula.

Do not remove the common factor This answer is the molecular formula. (4) Remove the fractor that is common to whole number ratio in (3). This is the empirical formula. Problem #4: Caffeine has the following percent composition: carbon 49.48%, hydrogen 5.19%, oxygen 16.48% and nitrogen 28.85%.

From that we can determine the empirical formula weight to be 13 (one carbon plus one hydrogen). This term (empirical formula weight, abbreviation = EFW) IS NOT a standard chemical term, so be alert to how others describe it.

1 finding the ratios of elements in a compound gives the empirical formula (from percentage composition) 2  C6H12O2 (molecular formula) >> CH2O (empirical formula)  subscripts in the molecular formula can be found by multiplying the subscripts in the empirical formula by a whole number.

Empirical and Molecular Formulas. Combustion analysis can only determine the empirical formula of a compound; it cannot determine the molecular formula. However, other techniques can determine the molecular weight. Once we know this value, coupled with the empirical formulas, we can easily calculate what the molecular formula is.
