What makes it possible to know the formula of a chemical compound?

There are two ways to know the formula of a chemical compound. Either it is already written on the bottle in which you obtained it, or it is an unknown compound in which case you can perform an analysis which can be simple or complicated depending upon the nature of the chemical that you are analysing. Normally, if the compound is truly unknown, you first test for the presence of the cyanide radical, since you do not want to accidentally release deadly cyanogen gas. The indicator is the ferric ion, which will turn bright red if it combines with the cyanide ion. After that, there are lots of other tests you can perform. Lots and lots.


How can scientists identify the composition of a compound?

1. Chemical formulas are established after repeated and serious chemical analysis of chemical compounds.2. And, if you want, searching the formula in a catalog - if you know the name of this compound or the CAS number.

Why do you have to balance chemical equations?

You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).


What is the best method for analyzing an unknown compound in aqueous form?

There are a number of ways and it depends what you want to know (and already know) about the unknown compound. If it is an acid or a base, you can do a titration. If it is colored, you can measured the absorption spectrum by UV/Vis spectroscopy. If you have a good idea what the unknown compound could be (or a few options anyway), there may be a specific test for those particular compounds.

What indicates the chemical makeup of a substance by showing how many of each kind of atoms is present in a molecule?

That would be called chemical analysis. If you just want to know what the compound is, that is a qualitative analysis, and if you want to know exactly how much of it you have, that is a quantitative analysis.

What is 4 categories of chemical reaction?

The four categories of chemical reactions are synthesis (combining two or more substances to form a new compound), decomposition (breaking down a compound into simpler substances), single replacement (one element replaces another in a compound), and double replacement (exchange of ions between two compounds).


Why do you have chemical symbols?

We have chemical symbols so that we can quickly write about an element or compound with out having to write out the name every time you want to refer to it.
