Let the total mass of compound be 100 g
we have mass of each elements as:
Ca: 29.4 g
S: 23.5 g
O: 47.1 g
Divide by molar mass to get number of moles of each:
Ca: 29.4/40.08 = 0.7335
S: 23.5/32.07 = 0.7328
O: 47.1/16.0 = 2.9438
Divide by smallest to get simplest whole number ratio:
Ca: 0.7335/0.7328 = 1
S: 0.7328/0.7328 = 1
O: 2.9438/0.7328 = 4
So empirical formula is:
CaSO4
