Percentage CompositionThe mass percentage of each element in the compound.
The composition is determined by experiment, often by combustion. When a compound is burned, its component elements form oxides—for example, CO2 and H2O. The CO2 and H2O are captured and weighed to determine the amount of C and H in the original compound.

Determining the Empirical Formula
Beginning with percent composition:
1. Assume exactly 100 g so percentages convert directly to grams.
2. Convert grams to moles for each element.
3. Manipulate the resulting mole ratios to obtain whole numbers.
![Page 39: Chapter 3 Calculations with Chemical Formulas and Equations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56649f455503460f94c676c6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 3 | 39
Manipulating the ratios:
Divide each mole amount by the smallest mole amount.
If the result is not a whole number:
Multiply each mole amount by a factor to make whole numbers.
For example:
If the decimal portion is 0.5, multiply by 2.
If the decimal portion is 0.33 or 0.67, multiply by 3.
If the decimal portion is 0.25 or 0.75, multiply by 4.

StoichiometryThe calculation of the quantities of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction.
Interpreting a Chemical EquationThe coefficients of the balanced chemical equation may be interpreted in terms of either (1) numbers of molecules (or ions or formula units) or (2) numbers of moles, depending on your needs.

Limiting ReactantThe reactant that is entirely consumed when a reaction goes to completion.
Once one reactant has been completely consumed, the reaction stops.
Any problem giving the starting amount for more than one reactant is a limiting reactant problem.
![Page 56: Chapter 3 Calculations with Chemical Formulas and Equations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56649f455503460f94c676c6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

All amounts produced and reacted are determined by the limiting reactant.
How can we determine the limiting reactant?
1. Use each given amount to calculate the amount of product produced.
2. The limiting reactant will produce the lesser or least amount of product.
