Silicon has three isotopes, Silicon-28, Silicon-29 and Silicon-30, whose
percentage abundances are 92.1%, 4.70% and 3.09% respectively. The atomic
masses are 27.977 amu, 28.976 amu and 29.974 amu respectively. Write the
symbols for the three isotopes of silicon and determine the relative atomic mass.

Activity 1:
Molecules of glucose (blood sugar) contain 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6
oxygen atoms. What are the molecular and empirical formulas of glucose?
 C6H12O6 → CH2O

A molecule of metaldehyde (a pesticide used for snails and slugs) contains 8 carbon
atoms, 16 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms. What are the molecular and empirical
formulas of metaldehyde?
 C8H16O4 → C 2H 4O

Write the empirical formula of the following compounds:

a) C6H6 = C 6H 6 → CH
b) C8H18 = C8H18 → C 4H 9
c) C2H6O2 = C 2H 6O 2 → CH3O

Activity 3:
Answer the following questions. Show calculations. Observe the use of significant figures
for calculations and indicate the appropriate units.
Aspirin has the molecular formula C9H8O4.

1. What is the % C in aspirin by mass in aspirin?

SOLUTION:
9 ×12.01
×100 %  Therefore, there is 60% of carbon by
180.17 mass in the aspirin.
= 0.59993 x 100%
= 59.993 → 60%

2. What is the % O in aspirin by mass in aspirin?

SOLUTION:
4 × 16.00  Therefore, there is 32.52% of oxygen by
×100 %
180.17 mass in the aspirin.
= 0.3552 x 100%
=35.52%

3. An oxide of chromium is made up of 5.20 g chromium and 5.60 g oxygen What is the
empirical formula of the oxide?
SOLUTION:
1 molCr Cr = 0.1  The empirical formula of the
5.20 ×
52 g /mol O = 0.35 oxide is Cr2O7
1 molO
5.60 ×
16 g / mol
4. (Note: An oxide of nitrogen contains 63.1% oxygen and has a molar mass of 76.0
g/mol.) What is the empirical formula for this compound?
SOLUTION:  The empirical
1 molO 1 m ol N N2.6O4=N1O1.5
63.1 g × 36.9 × formula of
16 g /mol 14.01 g /mol =N2O3 nitrogen oxide is
N2O3.
O=4 N=2.6

5. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

76.0
=1 N2 = 2(1) = 2 O3 = 3(1) = 3
76.0  The molecular
formula is N2O3.
