Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose and therefore not a monosaccharide
To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

Answer:
pH = 8.25
Explanation:
The acidity or basicity of a solution is measured by its pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Solutions having pH from 0-6.9 are considered acidic, at 7 neutral and basic when ranging from 7.1-14.
pH is calculated as,
pH = - log [H⁺] ---- (1)
Where;
[H⁺] = concentration of Acid
Also, for bases pH i calculated using following formula,
pH = 14 - pOH
Therefore, Putting value of H⁺ in equation 1,
pH = - log [5.6 × 10⁻⁹]
pH = 8.25
The solution provided is basic in nature.
