please tell me a quick for determination of empirical and molecular formula and also who invented it.
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The determination of empirical and molecular formulas is a fundamental concept in chemistry, essential for understanding the composition of compounds. Empirical formulas represent the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound, while molecular formulas indicate the actual number of atoms of each element. The method for determining these formulas involves analyzing the mass of each element present in a sample. The concept was developed by John Dalton in the early 19th century, laying the groundwork for modern chemistry.
