Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent: 
Answer:
0.99 pounds
2,000 oz
0.423 cups
Explanation:
In order to convert this units we need to look up their equivalences.
1 g equals 0,0022 pounds approximately
Then we need to cross-multiply:
450 g equals 0.99 pounds approximately
We can do the same calculation for the other 2 ingredients
1 g equals 16 oz
Then (125 g x 16 oz) / 1 oz = 2,000 oz (or 500 4 oz)
1 cup equals 236.59 ml
Then (100 ml x 1 cup)/ 236.59 = 0.423 cups
