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)

Which example is an endothermic process
Annette [7]

Answer:

Endothermic reactions is the result of heat being absorbed.

Explanation:

Melting ice cubes. Melting solid salts. Evaporating liquid water. Converting frost to water vapor (melting, boiling, and evaporation, in general, are endothermic processes.

(These are all examples of endothermic reactions.)

The fundamental force underlying all chemical reactions is
arsen [322]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Force

Explanation:

Every aspect of chemical reaction is the output of electromagnetic force though the forces can take on many forms because of the quantum wave nature of particles.

The electromagnetic force has the ability to attract opposite charges such as protons and electrons and it repels same charges such as electrons and protons.

This force is an important force in the chemical reaction as it it is responsible for bonding between atoms. Though other forces are unique in their own way but they don't affect chemical reaction. Force of gravity is not strong enough to affect chemical reactions; when nuclear forces are involved in a reaction, such reaction is a nuclear reactor; not chemical reaction.

One of the roles of the electromagnetic force in chemical reaction is that it holds the electrons that are in the outer orbit around the nucleus; this, in the long run creates bonds with other chemical elements to create a visible matter.

Explain how a neutral paper fragment can be attracted to a charged rod
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The particles in the neutral paper can shift, causing the paper to become polarized and attracted to the rod.

Explanation:

The neutral paper has an even distribution of its electrons throughout the paper. If a charged rod is brought near the neutral paper, this can cause the electrons in the paper to shift. If the rod is negative, the electrons will be repelled from the rod and cause the molecules in the paper to have a slight positive charge on the part of the paper closest to the rod. If the rod is positive, the electrons will be attracted to the rod and cause a slight negative charge on the side of the paper closest to the rod.
