English translation: trovato calcolato

Italian term or phrase: trov.%: S 19.06 per ...
Il distillato, per raffredamento, lascia separare il prodotto cercato che viene raccolto, seccato all'aria e poi purificato da etere di petrolio. Aghi leggermente gialli, p.f. 41-42°.

***trov.%: S 19.06;
per C7H4ClNS calc. : 18.91.***

I am assuming these are abbreviations for the expression of the caluclation or the formula.

My question is what does "trov.%: S" mean? and does the "per" mean "multiplied by" or "for" in this context?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

neutral  Mirra_: solfo??? R hai scritto Solfo nella tua risposta. Comunque, vedo che adesso lo hai scritto correttamente, zolfo, bene.

  -> un idea....con "fiducia" =2...C7H4ClNS contiene Zolfo (S in tabella) no ? (sulfur/sulphur in AM/EN if you prefer)// ho pensato alla tabella periodica non alla "z" sorry !

I would translate it so

Reference: Calculation

Reference information:
The substance in question is C7H4ClNS.
They've performed an assay of the amount of sulphur in their product and found it to be [b]19.06%[/b], compared with the theoretical content by atomic weight, which is as follows:

C7 = 12.01 x 7 = 84.07
H4 = 1.008 x 4 = 4.032
Cl = 1 x 35.45 = 35.45
N = 1 x 14.01 = 14.01
S = 1 x 32.07 = 32.07

Total = 84.07+4.03+35.45+14.01+32.07=169.63
Theoretical content of S = 32.07/169.63 = [b]18.9%[/b]
