A gaseous compound which contains only C, H and S is burnt with oxygen under such conditions that individual volumes of the reactant and product can be measured at the same temperature and pressure. It is found that 3 volumes of the compound react with oxygen to yield 3 volumes of `CO_(2)`, 3 volumes of `SO_(2)` and 6 volumes of water vapour. What volume of oxygen is required for teh combustion? What is the formula of the compound ? Is this an empirical formula or molecular formula ?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to determine the volume of oxygen required for the combustion of the gaseous compound containing carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and sulfur (S). We will also find the empirical and molecular formulas of the compound.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Reaction:**
The combustion of the compound can be represented as:
\[
C_xH_yS_z + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + SO_2 + H_2O
