Empirical Formula (for percentage)
First, assume all samples are based on 100%, so we can assume there is 100 grams of a sample (drop the percent sign, replace it was "g"). Second, convert the new grams samples to moles. Then, divide the moles answers by the smallest of the mol answers you got to get a whole number. If it's, for example, 1.9, round to 2. If you are not close to a whole number, you have to figure out what each of the numbers need to be multiplied by to get a whole number. Finally, add those whole numbers to their respective elements. (example: if your whole number after you divided for Mg was 3, you would write it as Mg₃)
Empirical Formula for Molar Mass (simple formula)
First, find the total molar mass of the elements in the compound. Then, divide the given g/mol number by the total molar mass of the elements. The number that results should be a whole number or very close so you can round. Nextly, multiple the whole compound by the resulting number as a subscript to get the unsimple formula. Molecular formula: molar mass over mass of simple = #. (simple formula)subscript # = molecular formula
