Formula and Molecular Weights. The formula weight of a substance is the sum of the atomic weights of each atom in its chemical formula. For example, water (H 2 O) has a formula weight of: 2 × (1.0079 amu) + 1 × (15.9994 amu) = 18.01528 amu. If a substance exists as discrete molecules (as with atoms that are chemically bonded together) then ...

Steps to follow are outlined in the text. Step 2: Calculate. Empirical formula mass (EFM) = 13.84g/mol. molar mass EFM = 17.7 13.84 = 2. BH 3 × 2 = B 2H 6. The molecular formula of the compound is B 2H 6. Step 3: Think about your result. The molar mass of the molecular formula matches the molar mass of the compound.
The molecular mass from our empirical formula is significantly lower than the experimentally determined value. What is the ratio between the two values? (176 amu/88.062 amu) = 2.0. Thus, it would appear that our empirical formula is essentially one half the mass of the actual molecular mass. If we multiplied our empirical formula by '2', then ...
The empirical formula mass for this compound is approximately 30 amu (the sum of 12 amu for one C atom, 2 amu for two H atoms, and 16 amu for one O atom). If the compound’s molecular mass is determined to be 180 amu, this indicates that molecules of this compound contain six times the number of atoms represented in the empirical formula:
