This KS4 chemistry resource introduces the difference between empirical and molecular formulae.

Using two examples the PowerPoint walks through how to calculate the empirical and molecular formula of a compound from the reacting masses. The answers are included.

The resource 'Working out chemical formulae' (23867) makes a challenging follow up exercise.
