Example :

$2FeCl_3_{(aq)}+2KI_{(aq)}=2FeCl2_{(aq)}+2KCl_{(aq)}+I_2_{(s)}$

If you use the subscript (aq) (=aquaris) , this means that the substance is in a solution.

Subscripts:
-aq-this means that the substance is in a solution
-s-this means that the substance is a solid(or precipitate)
-l-this means that the substance is a liquid
-g-this means that the subtance is a gas

How many molecules are in 5.60 L of oxygen gas

topjm [15]

5.6L of O2 means we have 0.25 moles of O2.
As, 1 mole has 6.023*10^23 molecules,
0.25 moles of O2 will have 0.25*6.023*10^23 molecules=1.50575*10^23 molecules
and as 1 molecule of O2 has 2 atoms, so, 1.50575*10^23 molecules will have 2*1.50575*10^23 atoms=3.0115*10^23 atoms of O.
