Garlic is an antioxidant known to lower blood pressure and kill bacteria. But for these properties to be present, fresh garlic has to undergo chemical change by being attacked by soil pathogens that produces a substance called allicin. Allicin is what gives garlic its odor and has the composition 44.4% C, 6.21% H, 9.86% O, and 39.51% S. What is the empirical formula for allicin?   Question 8 options:   C6H10OS2   C3H5OS   C4H6OS   C6H10O2S
