CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.
When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.
Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of
S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)
Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.
moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca
moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles
mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S
mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol
Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1
For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1
The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1
Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.
