Divide all elements by the smallest number of moles (0.04) to get
1Na, 1S and 1.5 O. Next, multiply all by 2 as to obtain all whole numbers, and you arrive at
2Na, 2S and 3 O. So empirical formula will be Na2S2O3.

Need help to find the empirical formula of the compound A compound of sulphur contains 2.4 percent hydrogen 39 percent sulphur and 58.6 percent oxygen Find the empirical formula of the compound?
Step 1. Divide each by its atomic mass. H 2.4 / 1 = 2.4 S 39 / 32 = 1.21875 O 58.6 / 16 = 3.6625 Step 2. Compare answers, pick smallest one and divide all answers by that smallest. H 2.4 / 1.21875 = 1.969 S 1.21875 / 1.21875 = 1 O 3.6625 / 1.21875 = 3.005 Step 3. Look at the decimal parts, if they are close to a whole number round to a whole number --- these become subscripts for the formula. H2SO3
