From your research, you have determined that the new candy product has a percent composition of 53% Kisses and 47% Reeces. Since these are percentages, you need a total mass to assume. You will assume a total mass of 34g. |
From your research, you have determined that the new candy product has a percent composition of 49% Kisses and 51% Reeces. Since these are percentages, you need a total mass to assume. You will assume a total mass of 36.5g (weigh to the tenth place). |
You will first calculate the actual mass of each candy you need to weigh, then weigh them out on a scale. Finally, you will determine the number ratio (simplest) of the Kisses to Reeces and give the "correct Empirical Formula".
Directions
1. In the space below, calculate the grams of Kisses and Reeses you need to weigh out.
2. Go into lab, mass out the correct grams of each candy.
3. Then count the number of kisses you weighed out and then the number of Reeses.
4. Determine the simplest ratio of these candies and give the "correct Empirical Formula".
