Thiophene (fp = -38.3; bp = 84.4 C) is a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon sometimes used as a solvent

Question:

Thiophene (fp = -38.3; bp = 84.4 °C) is a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon sometimes used as a solvent in place of benzene. Combustion of a 2.348 g sample of thiophene produces 4.913 g CO2, 1.005 g H2O, and 1.788 g SO2. When a 0.867 g sample of thiophene is dissolved in 44.56 g of benzene (C6H6), the freezing point is lowered by 1.183 °C. What is the molecular formula of thiophene?
