Combustion of a sulfide of bismuth compound, BixSy (50.00g) in O2 produced 45.30 g of dibismuth trioxide (Bi2O3).
i) What is the compound name, empirical formula and the formula weight of the bismuth sulfide (BixSy) compound?
ii) What is the oxidation state of the sulfur and the bismuth in this compound? 
iii) Suppose in your combustion experiment, the BixSy compound also contained some bismuth oxide impurities, how would this affect the x-value in the empirical formula of BixSy  (higher or lower and state your reason)?
iv) Suppose instead of producing 45.30 g dibismuth trioxide in the final product of the combustion, 45.30 g of dibismuth pentaoxide is produced instead, how would this affect the y-value in the empirical formula of BixSy  ?

A compound of Ca, C, N, and S was subjected to quantitative analysis and formula mass determination, and the following data were obtained.  A 0.250 g sample was mixed with Na2CO3 to convert all of the Ca to 0.160 g of CaCO3.  A 0.0268 g sample of the compound was carried through a series of reactions until all of the S was changed to 0.0802 g of BaSO4.  A 0.712g sample was processed to liberate all of its N as NH3, and 0.155 g NH3 was obtained.  The formula mass was found to be 156 g/mol.  Determine the empirical and molecular formulas of this compound.
