The formula of the compound and the Atomic Mass of its elements.
c12h24
The gram-formula mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula unit of the compound. For NO2, the gram-formula mass is calculated by adding the atomic mass of nitrogen (N) and two times the atomic mass of oxygen (O).
Molecular mass refers to the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms in a molecule, while formula mass is the sum of the atomic masses of the elements in a formula unit of an ionic compound. Both molecular mass and formula mass are measures of the mass of a compound, with molecular mass specifically for molecules and formula mass for ionic compounds.
You should solve for an empirical formula when you are given the percent composition of elements in a compound or when you have the molar mass of the compound but not the molecular formula. The empirical formula provides the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
Not necessarily. The element with the largest subscript doesn't always have the largest percent by mass in a compound. The percent by mass of an element in a compound is determined by its atomic mass and the total molar mass of the compound.
MgCl2 has the largest formula mass among the given compounds. This is because the formula mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula unit, and magnesium (Mg) has a greater atomic mass than lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K).

The sum of atomic masses of all atoms in a compound is called the molar mass. It is calculated by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms present in the compound based on the molecular formula.
The mass of a mole of an ionic compound.
((mass of element)/(mass of compound))*100
The formula of the compound and the Atomic Mass of its elements.
No, the element with the largest atomic mass is not always present in the highest percentage by mass in a compound. The percentage by mass of an element in a compound is determined by its atomic mass and the total mass of the compound. The composition of a compound can vary based on the number of atoms of each element present.

To determine the mass percent of oxygen in a compound, you would calculate the mass of oxygen in the compound and then divide it by the total mass of the compound, before multiplying by 100. The formula is: (mass of oxygen in compound / total mass of compound) x 100%.
No, the mass of each element in a compound is fixed and does not change with the amount of compound. The mass of each element is determined by its molar mass and the chemical formula of the compound.
To find the molecular formula of a compound, you need to know its empirical formula and molar mass. Divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of the empirical formula to find the "multiplication factor." Multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by this factor to get the molecular formula.
