The empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass is C_3H_6S.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

We need to calculate the number of moles

Number of a mole of carbon =

48.6 g X (\frac{1 mole }{ 12.0107 g}) =4.05 mole

Number of a mole of hydrogen =

8.2g X (\frac{1 mole}{.00784g}) =8.14 mole

Number of moles of sulphur =

43.2g X (\frac{ mole}{32.065g}) = 1.35 mole

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 1.35 moles.

Carbon= \frac{4.05 mole }{1.35 mole} =3

Oxygen= \frac{8.14 mole}{1.35 mole} =6

Sulfur= \frac{1.35 mole}{1.35 mole} =1

Empirical formula is C_3H_6S
