The answer is 46...
This message is for Melissa Me:
Please explain why H atoms total 44 and not 22. How in the world would the 12 carbon atoms bond with all these H atoms in addition to the other elements already included? Are you inventing a new organic compound?

What! piposulfan isn't very soluble in water. I doubt it has much hydrogen bonding at all. Anyway, the way you are saying it it would have more atoms, not less.

the guy above me is wrong... because of hydrogen bonding, each H counts as 2... so there are actually 44 H atoms....
He was trying to trick you into thinking this was just a math problem!
So the answer is 68
