Answer:
C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ ).
Step-by-step 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)
