The empirical formula of carbon sulfide = C3S2

calculation

calculate the mass of S used = 124-44.6= 79.4 grams

find the moles of each element

that is carbon(C)= 44.6/12= 3.717 moles    

          sulfur (S) = 79.4/32= 2.48 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing each mole with the smallest mole( 2.48)

that is carbon = 3.717/2.48 = 1.5

        sulfur = 2.48/2.48= 1

multiply by 2 to remove the decimal

= C=1.5 x2=3

S= 1/2 =2

therefore the empirical formula = C3S2

Neo-pentane represents the Compound A while compound B is n-pentane.

After careful consideration we can say that compounds A and B are alkanes and also isomers of pentane. In chemistry, Isomers are defined as compounds having same empirical molecular formula but different structural formulas due to varying arrangement of atoms.

Now, as per the question statement, compound A gives a single monochlorination product upon heating with the molecule of chlorine i.e. Cl2 showing that the molecule is extremely symmetric. This molecule must be neo-pentane. Refer to image 1.

Similarly, Compound B forms 3 constitutional isomers after undergoing monochlorination. This compound must be n-pentane since three are 3 different types of carbon atoms in the structure. Refer to image 2.
