Answer» Answer: Find the empirical formula. Get the mass of each element by ASSUMING a certain overall mass for the sample (100 G is a GOOD mass to assume when working with percentages). ... Convert the mass of each element to moles. ... Find the ratio of the moles of each element. ... Use the MOLE ratio to write the empirical FOMULA.
