Why is cl2 a subcript​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vazorg [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In Cl_2, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O_2\\ or N_2, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as Ca_3(PO_4)_2 it indicates there are 2 PO_4 molecules.

A football field is 120 yards by 53.333 yards. What is the area of the football field in acres if 1 acre=43560 ft?? Use correct
maw [93]

Answer:

1.3223 acres

Explanation:

a football field's area is 360 feet (120 yards) x 160 feet (53.333 yards) = 57,600 sq. feet

if the area of an acre is 43,560 sq. feet, then a football field in acres = 57,600 sq. feet / 43,560 sq. feet = 1.3223 acres

we can verify our answer by doing the same calculation in sq. yards:

football field = 120 yards x 53.33 yards = 6,400 sq. yards

an acre is 4,840 sq. yards

football field in acres = 6,400 sq. yards / 4,840 sq. yards = 1.3223 acres
