What symbols represent a compound?

The groups of symbols are called "formulas" (Latin formulae) because they show the symbols of the elements and ions that are in a molecule of a compound.Example: CO2 (carbon dioxide) contains one atom of carbon and two of oxygen.


Is opening a soda can a chemical change?

Nope. The pressure keeps the Carbon Dioxide dissolved in the liquid, and when that pressure is relieved, the CO2 rapidly returns to its gaseous state. None of the molecules are reacting or changing, although the CO2 switches from aqueous to gaseous phase.


What do you call the ingredients of a chemical reaction?

-A chemical reaction is a process that changes, or transforms, one set of chemicals into another. An important scientific principle is that mass and energy are conserved during chemical transformations. This is also true for chemical reactions that occur in living organisms. some chemical reactions occur slowly, such as the combination of iron and oxygen to form an iron oxide(rust). Other reactions occur quickly. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction are know as reactants. The elements or compounds pruduced by a chemical reaction are known as products. Chemical reactions always involve changes in the chemicdal bonds that join atoms in compounds. -Chemical reactions that occurs in your body involves carbon dioxide. Your cells constantly profuce carbon dioxide as a normal part of their activity. Carbon dioxide is carried to you lungs through the bloodstream, and then is eliminated as you exhale. Carbon dioxide is not very soluble in water. The bloodstream could not possibly dissolve enough carbon dioxide to carry it away from your tissues were it not fro chemical reaction. As it enters the blood, carbon dioxide reacts with water to produce a highly coluble compind called carbonic acid, H2CO3. CO2 + H2O ---> H2CO3 The reaction shown above enables the bloodstream to carry carbon diocide to the lungs. In the lungs, the reaction is reversed. H2CO3 ---> CO2 + H2O This reverse reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which is released as you exhale.


What are elements out of lead bronze air carbon methane and uranium?

Carbon, Lead, Uranium are chemical elements. Bronze is an alloy - Cu + Sn (and some other minor elements). Methane is a chemical compound - CH4. Air is a mixture of elements (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, etc.) and compounds (water, carbon dioxide, etc.)


Why is carbon a gas?

Elemental carbon is not a gas. It is a solid. It is a component in some gases like carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Is carbon dioxide leaving exhaust a chemical change?

If you are asking about Cobalt then no it is an element and cannot be broken down by chemical means. If you are talking about Carbon Monoxide (CO) then yes it can be decomposed by chemical means.

Do iPods have carbon dioxide in them?

Where there are no components, there is air when it is located on Earth's surface. Our air has some carbon dioxide in it. So there is some carbon dioxide in an ipod. It is not necessary to the function of an ipod. If you burn an ipod, some carbon dioxide will be released, since the casing has some carbon in it.


The atmospheric gas that forms a mild acid when dissolved in water is?

This would be carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water (as all gases do to some extent) it forms carbonic acid, because the chemical formula would be in perfect balance. Carbonic acid has the chemical formula H2CO3. Also carbon dioxide dissolves into water more readily than many other atmospheric gases. CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3
