Sn = 0.00383 mols
I = 0.01534.
The easy way to find the ratio is to divide the smaller number by itself (thereby assuring you will get 1.000), the divide the other number by the same small number.
Sn = 0.00383/0.00383 = 1.00
I = 0.01534/0.00383 = 4.005
Then round to whole numbers so the empirical formula is SnI4.
I = 0.01534.
