An organic thiol compound is 38.66% C, 9.73% H, and 51.61% S by mass. What is the empirical formula of this compound?

Empirical formula is C₂H₆S

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 9.73%

Percentage of carbon = 38.66%

Percentage of sulfur = 51.61%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 9.73 / 1.01 = 9.6

Number of gram atoms of S = 51.61 / 32 = 1.6

Number of gram atoms of C = 38.66 / 12 = 3.2

Atomic ratio:

             C                      :      H              :         S

           3.2/1.6               :     9.6/1.6       :       1.6/1.6

            2                      :        6             :        1

C : H : S = 2 : 6 : 1

Empirical formula is C₂H₆S.

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence
