Relative Mass Formula, Atomic Mass and Empirical Formula

Relative Mass Formula, Atomic Mass and Empirical Formula

Basic objective of this lecture is to focus on Relative mass formula, atomic mass, and empirical formula. The relative formula mass of a compound is blatantly the relative atomic masses of all the elements in the compound added together. The mass of an isotopic element relative to Carbon-12.  Example: chlorine occurs in isotope forms Cl-35 (75.5%) and Cl-37 (24.5%). Here also focus on how to calculating the mass of a product.
