    We are given with two elements and their respective percent composition. Having a 100 grams basis, we convert each mass to moles. Calcium is equivalent to 1.39 moles and sulfur equal to 1.3849 moles. We divide each from the smaller number between the two. Hence, Ca is 1 and S is also 1. The compound formula is CaS or calcium sulfide.
