Hydrogen Sulphide Formula

What is the empirical formula of Hydrogen sulfide, if the ratio of sulfur to Hydrogen in the compound =…?

112.4 to 7.1? Immediate ten points for the best answer with work shown!

I assume the ratio is weight

Ratio S : H

By weight 112.4 : 7.1

To get to a mole ratio divide by molecular weight

By moles 3.51 : 7.02

must have whole numbers so divide by the lowest

Molecular ratio 1 : 2

So the molecular formula is H2S
