Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is = Na2SH20O14
The empirical formula mass of the compound = 2×23+1×32+20×1+14×16= 322
Now, calculate value of n = Molecular mass / Empirical mass = 322/322=1
Finally, calculate molecular formula of the compound = n × Empirical formula= 1 × Na2SH20O14
Hence, molecular formula of the compound = Na2SH20O14

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is = Na2SH20O14
The empirical formula mass of the compound = 2×23+1×32+20×1+14×16= 322
Now, calculate value of n = Molecular mass / Empirical mass = 322/322=1
Finally, calculate molecular formula of the compound = n × Empirical formula= 1 × Na2SH20O14
Hence, molecular formula of the compound = Na2SH20O14
