in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements
Let the total mass of the compound is 100g
as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g
as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g
let us calculate the moles of each element
Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25
moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75
In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25
moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1
moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3
So empirical formula will be SO₃
Given what we know, the ability of water to absorb more heat than the other substances mentioned is a reflection of its high boiling point.
<h3>What do we mean by boiling point?</h3>
This is the temperature at which the substance boils, and subsequently evaporates. Having a higher boiling point means that the substance will be able to absorb much more heat than that of a substance with a lower boiling point.
Therefore, Water molecules have a higher boiling point than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb large amounts of heat.

Number of moles ( substance x ):
1 mole --------- 58.45 g/mol
? mole --------- 326.0 g
326.0 x 1 / 58.45 => 5.577 moles
heat of fusion:
hf = Cal / moles
hf = 4325.8 Cal / 5.577 moles
hf = 775.65 cal/mol
hope this helps!
Kinetic energy if it's based on temperature but potential energy is talking in terms of entropy
