Thiophene is a liquid compound of the elements C, H, and S. A sample of thiophene weighing 7.96 mg was burned in oxygen, giving 16.65 mg CO₂.

Another sample was subjected to a series of reactions that transformed all the sulphur in the compound to barium sulfate. If 4.31 mg of thiophene gave 11.96 mg of barium sulfate, what is the empirical formula of thiophene?

Its molecular weight is 84 amu. What is its molecular formula?
