Molecular Formula

A Molecular formula gives the actual ratio between the atoms in a compound.

For Ionic compounds, the empirical and molecular formulas are the same.

Molecular Formula

For molecular compounds, the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical.

Hydrates

Hydrates are compounds with water molecules trapped in their crystal structure.

The water is weakly bonded and can be removed by heating the substance.

Hydrates

Example:Li2SO4 * 2 H2O

This formula tells you that 1 mole of lithium sulfate is bonded to 2 moles of water.

Hydrates

Example:MgCO3 * 7 H2O

This formula tells you that 1 mole of magnesium carbonate is bonded to 7 moles of water.

Hydrates

Example:MgSO3 * 6 H2O

This formula tells you that 1 mole of magnesium sulfite is bonded to 6 moles of water.

Hydrates

Notice the mole ratio is shown as a coefficient and the compound gets the 1.
