How does a subscript in a chemical formula affect balancing chemical equation?
How does a subscript affect the element just before it?
What is the number placed in front of a chemical formula that tells how many atoms or molecules there are in the formula?
it's a subscript
Where does coefficient belong in the chemical formula?
The coefficient in a chemical formula is the large number before each of the reactants or products. In the balanced equation for the synthesis of water: 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O The number 2 in front of the H on both sides of the arrow are the coefficients.
When balancing a chemical equation can you adjust the script in a formula?
No. Never change the subscripts because then you are changing the formula of the substance to something else. You can only change the amount of a substance by adding a coefficient in front of the formula. If there is no coefficient, it is understood to be 1.
What information in a balanced chemical equation shows how many moles of REACTANT ARE INVOLVED IN The reaction?
The coefficient (not a subscript or superscript) placed immediately before the formula of the reactant in the equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reaction. If there is no explicit coefficient, a value of 1 for the coefficient is assumed. The coefficient in front of the molecule tells its relative number of moles.
The number placed in front of a chemical symbol or formula is called?
Coefficient
A is a number in front of a formula in a chemical equation?
coefficient
What is the large number that appears in front of a chemical formula called?
a coefficient
What is ment by the term coefficient in relation to a chemical reaction?
A coefficient is a number written in front of a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation. The coefficient can represent the number of atoms, molecules, formula units, or moles of the substance.
What is a the small whole number that appears in front of a formula in a chemical equation?
It is the coefficient.
How does a subscript in a chemical formula affect balancing chemical equation?
How does a subscript affect the element just before it?
A number placed in front of a chemical formula in a chemical equation is called?
In a chemical Equation ,The reactants are on the left side of a chemical equation and the products are on the right side.The number in front of a chemical formula in a chemical equation is called atoms. They should be a balancing number on both the sides.
What is the number in front of a chemical formula called-?
atomic number or atomic weight. Subscript: atomic number, superscript: atomic weight: 94Pu239 or 239Pu
What is the number placed in front of a chemical formula that tells how many atoms or molecules there are in the formula?
it's a subscript
What is the number factor of a variable called?
The coefficient is in front of a variable.
What is the difference between a subscript and coefficiant?
A coefficient is the number that goes before an element when your balancing the equation. And a subscript is the number after the element. Subscripts are not changed when you balance the equation.
The number in front of the variable is the..?
The number in front of the variable is called the coefficient
