Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ ).

Explanation:

The empirical formula is obtained when we divide the molecular formula with a whole number giving the simplest ratio of all the elements (in whole number).

a) C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ :

There is no number with which we can divide the ratio further to get a simpler formula hence the molecular formula of the given compound is the empirical formula of the compound. Hence it is correct.

(C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁),

(b) C₈H₁₂O₄

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the formula with "4"

The empirical formula would be

(C₂H₃O)

(c) H₂O₂

The empirical formula would be (H₁O₁)

The sodium atom loses an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+). Which statement is correct with respect to its atomic radius?
mixer [17]
Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-.  Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

A coke has a ph of 3.5. this means that it has an excess of _______ ions and would be called a(n) _____.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
PH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale that is used to show the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It tells how acidic or alkaline a substance is . The pH values ranges from 0 to 14, such that acidic solutions have values between 1 to 6.9 with most acidic having a pH value of 1 and those that are basic have values from 7.1 to 14, with most acidic having a value of 14. Acidic compounds contain replaceable hydrogen ions while basic compounds contain hrdroxyl ions. In this case, a coke has a pH of 3.5 (acidic) which means that it has an excess of hydrogen ions (H+) and would be called an acid.

Thallium-207 decays exponentially with a half life of 4.5 minutes. if the initial amount of the isotope was 28 grams, how many g
Agata [3.3K]
An exponential decay law has the general form: A = Ao * e ^ (-kt) =>

A/Ao = e^(-kt)

Half-life time => A/Ao = 1/2, and t = 4.5 min

=> 1/2 = e^(-k*4.5) => ln(2) = 4.5k => k = ln(2) / 4.5 ≈ 0.154

Now replace the value of k, Ao = 28g  and t = 7 min to find how many grams of Thalium-207 will remain:

A = Ao e ^ (-kt) = 28 g * e ^( -0.154 * 7) = 9.5 g

Answer 9.5 g.
