What is the purpose of a subscript in a chemical equation?
the purpose of a subscript is to tell how many atoms of that chemical is used in the formulaThe number of atoms of the same element in the molecule ~APEX
What is the arrow between the reactants and products?
The arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical equation represents the direction of the chemical reaction. It indicates that the reactants are being transformed into the products.
What indicates the relative numbers of reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
The number of initial chemical compounds (reactants) and the number of final compounds resulted from the reaction (products).
What part of the chemical equation tells the number of atoms of each element?
That depends on the nature of the reaction. For a typical reaction, it will be the subscript following the symbol of the element multiplied by the coefficient. For example, in Na2SO4 there will be 2 Na atoms, 1 S atom and 4 O atoms. If the reaction was 2 Na2SO4, there would be 4 Na atoms, 2 S atoms and 8 O atoms.
What does the subscript 2 indicate int he compuonds mgcl2?
In chemical compounds, subscripts indicate how many of that element are present in the compound, compared to the rest of the compound.In MgCl2, the subscript indicates that there are two chlorine atoms for every atom of magnesium.
In CF4 what does the subscript 4 mean?
The subscript 4 indicates the number of that type of atoms in the compound. In this case, there are four Fluorine atoms in this molecular compound.
In a formula without parentheses a subscript applies?
e.g. H2SO4 #1 the number should be in subscript. #2 ; The No. '2' indicates that there are 2 x hudrogen . The No. '4' indicates that there are 4 x oxygen. Since sulphur(S) has no subscript no. the the letter inidcates that there is only '1' x sulphur. A full script nO. to the left of the formula indicates that there are two molecules needed to complete the reaction equation. e.g. 2H2SO4 = H2SO4 + H2SO4
What part of the chemical formula indicates the number of molecules or atoms involved?
The answer is 'subscript'
What does the subscript g on H2Og signify?
the subscript g after H2O indicates that it is water vapour, a gas, which is what the subscript g stands for. If there was a subscript s after the H2O, it would mean that H2O is in a solid form as ice. If there was a subscript l it means that H2O is in the liquid form as water.
What does the subscript mean in the chemical formula?
usually a subscript denotes the number of atoms of a particular element within the formula. ie H2O (the 2 would be a subscript) indicates there are two atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water.
What is the purpose of a subscript in a chemical equation?
the purpose of a subscript is to tell how many atoms of that chemical is used in the formulaThe number of atoms of the same element in the molecule ~APEX
What information does a reaction give?
It indicates how fast reactants become products.
What is the formula for the 5 following compounds potassium bromide iron III sulfate copper II chloride tetraphosphorus heptanitride ammonium carbonate?
potassium bromide - KBr iron (III) sulfate - Fe[subscript 2](SO[subscript 4])[subscript 3] copper (II) chloride - CuCl[subscript 2] tetraphosphorous heptanitride - P[subscript 4]N[subscript 7] ammonium carbonate - (NH[subscript 4])CO[subscript 3]
What is the arrow between the reactants and products?
The arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical equation represents the direction of the chemical reaction. It indicates that the reactants are being transformed into the products.
What is Ag subscript 3 PO subscript 4?
Ag3PO4 would be silver phosphate.
How do you identlfy reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
They are identified by the commonly known symbols for each element as well as a subscript for the number of occurrences of the element in a molecule.
What indicates the relative numbers of reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
The number of initial chemical compounds (reactants) and the number of final compounds resulted from the reaction (products).
