Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. The atoms<span> of each element are represented by one or two different letters. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.</span>

Explanation:

A subscript is a number that is placed below an alphabet on the bottom right side.

For example, for H_{2} molecule 2 is the subscript.

A subscript indicates the number of atoms present in a substance or molecule.

For example, in H_{2}SO_{4} the subscripts indicate that there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms.

#2: A gas at unknown pressure and a volume of 66 cm has its pressure changed to 150 kPa. The new volume
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

<h2>377 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The original pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the original pressure

P_1 =  \frac{P_2V_2}{V_1}  \\

150 kPa = 150,000 Pa

We have

P_1 =  \frac{150000 \times 166}{66}  =  \frac{24900000}{66}  \\  = 377272.72...

We have the final answer as

<h3>377 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you

The double replacement reaction

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction if Na₂S + HCl

Required

Type of reaction

Solution

The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.

The general formula for this reaction :

AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB

At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
