To answer this kind of question, all that is required is to add the subscripts that appear immediately after the atomic symbol of the atom in question, remembering that if there is no explicitly written subscript, a subscript of 1 is implied. In this instance, the symbol for hydrogen occurs twice, once with a subscript of 4 and once with a subscript of 3. Therefore, there are 4+3 or 7 hydrogen atoms in the formula unit.
The formula for the formula unit of anhydrous iron (III) acetate is Fe(C2H6O2)3. Tally the atoms as follows: Multiply the subscript within parentheses by the subscript after the parentheses to obtain 6 carbon atoms, 18 hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms; add the one atom of iron (implied by lack of any subscript immediately following it); the total is 31 atoms.
Not every chemical formula requires subscript. For example table salt is NaCl, sodium chloride. No subscript. But most chemical formulae do require subscript, such as water, H2O.
Subscript (:This is a subscript: (Na2) the "2" is the Subscript.
The meaning of this subscript is the base of a specific logarithm; example: log10, the usual logarithm with the base 10.
The meaning is that only one atom exists.
Three: Count the subscripts and add them to get the answer. (A subscript of 1 is implied by the atomic symbol itself.
Three total atoms, as shown by sum of the subscripts (including an implied subscript of 1 when no explicit subscript occurs) in the molecular formula for the compound.

Why doesn't the 0xygen have a subscript?
ctrl = for subscript ctrl shift = for superscript
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]
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.
You are not able to format a single character as subscript, but you can change the entire ledged text to subscript. Right-click on the ledged, select Font, and click on the Subscript option.
