What information is contained in a chemical equation?
A chemical formula contains information on the types and spatial arrangement of bonds in the chemical.It also tells you what elements are in the chemical, and how many atoms of each. The spatial arrangement is not necessarily very obvious from the formula, e.g. C2H5OH does not tell you much about the spatial arrangement of the bonds.A chemical formula uses symbols and numbers o represent the composition of a pure substance
Why do mixtures not have chemical formulas?
In general, it's impossible to know ahead of time how much of compound A and how much of compound B might be in a particular mixture of A and B. The mixture doesn't have any given chemical formula, because sometimes it might be mostly A with some B and sometimes it might be almost all B with only a tiny bit of A. There's one exception to this: Sometimes you'll see formulas given for mixtures where the proportions are known, e.g. a particular mineral might have a "formula" of Ca(0.8)Mg(0.2)CO(3) where the numbers in parentheses represent subscripts.
What does a structural formula depict that a molecular formula does not?
Structural formulas show a representation of the molecular structure, while chemical formulas do not. This is especially important when multiple compounds have the same chemical formula, but a different molecular structure.
What does the 2 in the chemical formula 2NaHCO3 mean?
The chemical formula for the compound is NaHCO3. If you meant the name of the compound, it's Sodium Bicarbonate, more commonly known as Baking Soda.
What is the difference between a structural formula and a molecular model?
A chemical formula is the number of atoms in a substance, and is the same as a molecular formula (provided the substance is a molecule - if not, it has no molecular formula). A structural formula shows how the atoms are linked, and there are different interpretations of this: eg C3H8O2 is the chemical formula of 1,2 propan di-ol, which is the same as the chemical formula of 1,1 propan di-ol the structural formula however is CH2OHCHOHCH3 for 1,2 propan di-ol and CH(OH)2CH2CH3 for 1,1 propan di-ol. A displayed formula shows all the bonds: ........H..OH...H.............O-H...H...H ........|....|.....|..................|....|.....| ....H-C.-.C.-.C.-.H.....H-O-C.-.C.-.C.-.H ........|....|.....|..................|....|.....| ....H-O...H....H.................H...H....H 1,2 propan di-ol........1,1 propan di-ol ---------------------------------- Some chemicals, such as table salt, have no molecule. Thus, they only have chemical formula but not molecular formula. The chemical formula of table salt is NaCl. There are other salts, such as Na2SO4, MgSO4, etc. (If you hear people saying "the salt molecule has the formula of NaCl...", believe me, they do not know what they are talking about.) Some compounds exist as molecules- discrete entities, such as water. This kind of compounds have molecular formula. Water's is H2O. Structural formula? Never heard of.
