**Determining an Empirical Formula Using Percent Composition**To determine the empirical formula of a compound using its percent composition, follow these steps. Here, we are working with a compound composed of sulfur (S), oxygen (O), and chlorine (Cl) with the following percent compositions:- Sulfur (S): 26.96%- Oxygen (O): 13.45%- Chlorine (Cl): 59.59%**Objective:**Find the empirical formula of this compound.**Instructions:**1. **Convert Percentages to Masses:** Assume a 100 gram sample of the compound. This makes the percentages equal to the masses in grams. Therefore: - Sulfur (S): 26.96 grams - Oxygen (O): 13.45 grams - Chlorine (Cl): 59.59 grams2. **Convert Masses to Moles:** Use the molar masses of each element to convert the masses to moles. - Sulfur (S): The molar mass of sulfur is approximately 32.07 g/mol. - Oxygen (O): The molar mass of oxygen is approximately 16.00 g/mol. - Chlorine (Cl): The molar mass of chlorine is approximately 35.45 g/mol. \[ \text{Moles of S} = \frac{26.96 \text{ g}}{32.07 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.840 \text{ mol} \] \[ \text{Moles of O} = \frac{13.45 \text{ g}}{16.00 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.841 \text{ mol} \] \[ \text{Moles of Cl} = \frac{59.59 \text{ g}}{35.45 \text{ g/mol}} = 1.682 \text{ mol} \]3. **Divide by the Smallest Number of Moles:** Determine the smallest number of moles calculated and divide each of the mole values by this number: \[ \text{Moles of S} = \frac{0.840}{0.840} = 1 \] \[ \text{Moles of O} = \frac{0.841}{0.840} = 1
