Answer:

4 means there are four molecules of Na₂SO₃.

Explanation:

Molecule:

A molecule is the smaller particle which can exist independently.

It may be monoatomic , diatomic, triatomic etc.

For example,

Hydrogen molecule consist of two atoms H₂

Nitrogen molecule = N₂

It may be combination of atoms of different elements.

HCl, H₂SO₄,Na₂SO₃

HCl = 1 mole of hydrochloric acid or one molecules of hydrochloric acid

H₂SO₄= 1 mole of sulfuric acid or one molecule of sulfuric acid

Na₂SO₃ = 1 mole of sodium sulfite or one molecule of sodium sulfite.

4Na₂SO₃ = 4 mole of sodium sulfite or four molecule of sodium sulfite.

The coefficient before the formula indicate the total number of molecules.

Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?
const2013 [10]
Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps
