A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemistry, a  formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as ________ understanding the reaction?
777dan777 [17]
Hello!

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as Stoichiometrically understanding the reaction.

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The first to talk about stoichiometry was Jeremias Benjamin Ritcher, who said that "Stoichiometry is the science that measures the quantitative proportions or mass ratios of chemical elements that are involved in a chemical reaction".

To calculate how much of a product is produced in a reaction, Stoichiometry is used, applying the law of conservation of mass. That means that the amount of product can be calculated from the amounts of reactants if they are known.
