Answer:
Octasulfur is just S8. Eight S atoms in
a sort of crown shape. Sulfur Dioxide is a gas, SO2. Does that help?
Explanation:
Solve these problems like weighted averages:
The first one:
Multiply the masses (isotope numbers) by the decimal form of the percentage. Add them
0.076 (6) + 0.924 (7) = 6.924
The second one:
0.2 (10) + 0.8 (11) = 10.8
If you think about it, these answers make sense. 6.924 is much closer to 7 than to 6 (since there's a lot more lithium-7 than there is lithium-6). 10.8 is closer to 11 than to 10.

Given
6.4 g sample
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
mass C :
= 12/44 x 8.37 g
= 2.28
mass H :
= 2/18 x 2.75 g
= 0.305
mass N = 1.06
mass S :
= 32/64 x 1.23
= 0.615
mass O = 6.4 - (2.28+0.305+1.06+0.615) = 2.14 g
Mol ratio :
= C : H : N : S : O
= 2.28/12 : 0.305/1 : 1.06/14 : 0.615/32 : 2.14/16
= 0.19 : 0.305 : 0.076 : 0.019 : 0.133 divided by 0.019
= 10 : 16 : 4 : 1 : 7
The empirical formula :
C₁₀H₁₆N₄SO₇
D) Transportation is the correct answer
