What is the chemical formula for iron 2 and oxygen?

Fe3O2. But it's not right! Oxygen forms a 2- ion and iron can be 2+ or 3+. So the formulae of iron oxide can be FeO or Fe2O3.


What are the formulae for Sodium ethanoate?

The chemical formula for sodium ethanoate is NaC2H3O2. Its molecular formula is CH3COONa. It can also be written as NaCH3COO.


What compound do you get if you mix sulphur and oxygen?

Sulfur undergoes many reactions with oxygen, leading to the formation of sulfur oxides; these can have a variety of formulae. Sulfur + oxygen ---> sulfur DIoxide. This is the balanced equation of the above reaction: S + O2 ---> SO2

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 For more information see related link.


Is it possible for a nitrogen atom to change into an oxygen atom?

We usually don't see a nitrogen atom change into an oxygen atom. This kind of change is a nuclear transmutation, and we just don't encounter much of this nitrogen-to-oxygen thing happening in nature. But there are instances where nitrogen can "change" into oxygen, and we have to look at a couple of isotopes of oxygen and nitrogen to discover if a nuclear reaction might transform nitrogen to oxygen. Let's take a little trip through an operating pressurized water nuclear reactor where this actually happens.The water circulating in a water-cooled nuclear reactor is H2O, and you knew that. Most of the oxygen in that water is oxygen-16. When water passes through the core of the reactor, the high neutron flux can activate the oxygen. An oxygen-16 atom can absorb a neutron and then undergo beta decay to become nitrogen-16. Further, nitrogen-16 in the water can then absorb a neutron and become nitrogen-17. It turns out this happens a lot. But the nitrogen-17 is very unstable, and it transforms via beta decay back into oxygen. The oxygen-17 on the end of this series of transformations is stable, by the way. But it will cycle back through the reactor and may undergo more transformations.A link can be found below to a related question, and the curious investigator might wish to trace the transformations mentioned. Further, a hard-core learner might want to come up with the nuclear formulae that are written to express the reactions.

How do you use math in sience?

Mainly, many magnitudes are related through different kinds of formulae. In advanced science you may have to derive your own formulae, but in more basic science, you just use existing formulae.Mainly, many magnitudes are related through different kinds of formulae.
