3. Figure out which element has the smallest number of moles: S, with 1.249 moles 4. Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles: S: 1.249 ππππ π 1.249 ππππ O: 3.747 ππππ π 1.249 ππππ = 1π = 3π 5. These numbers are now the subscripts for your empirical formula: SO 3 *If dividing by the smallest mole value does not give you a whole #, then you must find the least common multiple of the mole values*

Summary of Finding Empirical Formula Steps Figure out how many grams of each element you have Using the molar mass of each element, determine how many moles of each element you have Figure out which element has the smallest number of moles Divide the moles of each element by the smallest mole value (or multiply if dividing does not give you whole numbers) Use the results of that division to assign subscripts.
