In [[chemistry]], the '''empirical formula''' of a [[chemical compound]] is the simplest positive integer ratio of [[atom]]s present in a compound.<ref>{{GoldBookRef | title = Empirical formula | file = E02063}}</ref> A simple example of this concept is that the empirical formula of [[hydrogen peroxide]], or H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, would simply be HO.
 
An empirical formula makes no reference to [[isomer]]ism, structure, or absolute number of atoms. The empirical formula is used as standard for most ionic compounds, such as [[Calcium chloride|CaCl<sub>2</sub>]], and for [[macromolecules]], such as [[Silicon dioxide|SiO<sub>2</sub>]].
 
In contrast, the [[molecular formula]] identifies the number of each type of atom in a molecule, and the [[structural formula]] also shows the [[structure]] of the molecule.
 
For example, [[glucose]] ({{chem|C|6|H|12|O|6}}), [[ribose]] ({{chem|C|5|H|10|O|5}}), [[acetic acid]] ({{chem|C|2|H|4|O|2}}), and [[formaldehyde]] ({{chem|CH|2|O}}) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: {{chem|CH|2|O}}. This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.
 
For example, the chemical compound [[n-hexane]] has the structural formula {{chem|CH|3|CH|2|CH|2|CH|2|CH|2|CH|3}}, which shows that it has 6 [[carbon]] atoms arranged in a chain, and 14 [[hydrogen]] atoms. Hexane's molecular formula is {{chem|C|6|H|14}}, and its empirical formula is {{chem|C|3|H|7}}, showing a C:H ratio of 3:7. Different compounds can have the same empirical formula.
 
==Calculating Empirical Formulas==
Suppose you are given a compound such as [[methyl acetate]], a solvent commonly used in paints, inks, and adhesives. When methyl acetate was chemically analyzed, it was discovered to have 48.64% [[carbon]] (C), 8.16% [[hydrogen]] (H), and 43.20% [[oxygen]] (O). For the purposes of determining empirical formulas, we assume that we have 100 g of the compound. If this is the case, the percentages will be equal to the mass of each element in grams.
 
'''Step 1''': Change each [[percentage]] to an expression of the mass of each element in grams. That is, 48.64% C becomes 48.64 g C, 8.16% H becomes 8.16 g H, and 43.20% O becomes 43.20 g O.<br>
'''Step 2''': Convert the amount of each element in grams to its amount in moles.
 
:<math>\left(\frac{48.64 \mbox{ g C}}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1 \mbox{ mol }}{12.01 \mbox{ g C}}\right) = 4.049\ \text{mol}</math>
:<math>\left(\frac{8.16 \mbox{ g H}}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1 \mbox{ mol }}{1.008 \mbox{ g H}}\right) = 8.095\ \text{mol}</math>
:<math>\left(\frac{43.20 \mbox{ g O}}{1}\right)\left(\frac{1 \mbox{ mol }}{16.00 \mbox{ g O}}\right) = 2.7\ \text{mol}</math>
 
'''Step 3''': Divide each of the found values by the smallest of these values (2.7)
 
:<math>\frac{4.049 \mbox{ mol }}{2.7 \mbox{ mol }} = 1.5</math>
:<math>\frac{8.095 \mbox{ mol }}{2.7 \mbox{ mol }} = 3</math>
:<math>\frac{2.7 \mbox{ mol }}{2.7 \mbox{ mol }} = 1</math>
 
'''Step 4''': If necessary, multiply these numbers by integers in order to get whole numbers; if an operation is done to one of the numbers, it must be done to all of them.
 
:<math>1.5 \times 2 = 3</math>
:<math>3 \times 2 = 6</math>
:<math>1 \times 2 = 2</math>
 
Thus, the empirical formula of methyl acetate is {{chem|C|3|H|6|O|2}}. This formula also happens to be methyl acetate's molecular formula.

For people who know what they are doing, SEO work is essential. Your website's success can only benefit from being pushed into a higher position on the search engine results page. Read this article for some ideas on how you can improve your rank by optimizing your website.

First off, you need to know the basics of what SEO is. Computers use algorithms and formulas to determine rankings for websites. Search engine optimization techniques attempt to improve your website ranking by identifying how these algorithms work.

The way that search engines rank your site is called a search engine algorithm. This algorithm uses many factors to rank your website. The volume of traffic passing through your site is noted by these algorithms, as are the appearances of search terms in your headers and your content. Also factored into the search engine algorithm is the content of the links that lead to your site, which you have less control http://www.riversidemediagroup.com/uggboots.asp over.

To rank higher in search results, format your website so it is more relevant to the search engines. Start by using carefully chosen keywords in your content and titles. This is not the time to be in a rush to evaluate results. Give your approach time to take hold before you judge its effectiveness. You will not be able to raise your site's search engine rankings without making a real commitment to the process in terms of time and effort. Try different strategies and remain patient. If you know the keywords you want to use, be sure to include them. Search engines will perceive your site to be more relevant. You will have to invest time and effort into improving your ranking in the search results. Once you implement these suggestions, it may take some time to see results. Once you have researched your keywords, add them to your site's content, as well UGG Boots USA as the page title and heading.

Implement all the tips and advice that you can, then allow some time to pass to see how effective it was. Once you have your list of keywords, be sure they are included in your page titles, headings and the body of your paragraphs. If you do this, your UGG Boots Sale relevance will increase in regards to the search engines.

It isn't possible to simply purchase a high rank. You can buy featured spots for a link though. These featured or sponsored listings are generally labeled as such, and the link typically appears in one of the top three results. Purchasing these spots can be expensive for small businesses.

Forge a link-sharing deal with other webmasters. Back-linking is a great way to optimize traffic to your site. This will be a situation where you both benefit from working together.

By attracting clients that can be helped by your company, you are successfully bringing in targeted visitors. Though there will be some instances when people find your website simply by random browsing, these visitors are not inclined to make purchases and aren't going UGG Boots Sale to become regular site visitors. To get the attention of your target customers, you need to know which keywords they use when they conduct a search for your products or services. Use those keywords to increase traffic to your site. You may also want to spend time advertising on sites that potential customers already visit.
