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.

Which is a balanced chemical equation?
Degger [83]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. C7H16 + 11O2 → 7CO2 + 8H2O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
  • In this case, the balanced chemical equation is;

   C7H16 + 11O2 → 7CO2 + 8H2O

Because, it has 7 carbon atoms, 16 hydrogen atoms and 22 oxygen atoms on each side of the equation.

  • When an equation is balanced it obeys the law of conservation of mass such that the mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of products.
