Determine empirical and molecular formulas step-by-step from percentage composition and experimental molar mass. Visualise the resulting chemical structure in interactive 3D ball-and-stick view.
Lesson: Combustion analysis gives element mass percentages. Divide grams by atomic mass to find moles, normalise by the lowest mole count to find integer ratios, and scale the empirical unit to match the molecular molar mass.
