(Teachers: Handout provided in description). This is part of a series on chemical reactions and stoichiometry. The video describes the difference between empirical and molecular formulas, then demonstrates how to calculate each. This video is intended to help students understand chemistry or to help teachers who are trying to flip their chemistry classroom. This video is part of a larger playlist that can be found here: https://chemistryismyjam.com/reaction... Looking for something in particular? Try the time stamp links below: 00:01 What is the difference between an empirical and a molecular formula? 00:32 Writing empirical formulas when given molecular formulas. 01:26 Calculating an empirical formula in three steps. 03:59 The formula for calculating a molecular formula as well as an example. 06:42 An example of how to calculate a molecular formula when no empirical formula is given. The empirical formula is first determined, then the molecular formula. Helpful Hint: Click the settings button to increase the resolution if you are playing on a larger screen or projector.
