In addition to showing the ratio of atoms in a molecule, what else do the subscripts in a formula tell us?​

Chemistry

4 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Usually, when we write a chemical formula for any compound or other chemical specie, we use subscripts to;

  1. Indicate the ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie
  2. Show the number of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie.

Hence, the subscripts written after chemical formulas have more than one function as described above.

In H2SO4 for instance, there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulphur atom and four oxygen atoms as shown in the chemical formula.

How are volcanic mountains formed?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Volcanic mountains form as lava oozes forth from cracks in the earth. The lava builds up around the area where the eruption occurred. Layers build upon layers and over a period of time, a volcanic mountain forms. There are several ways that volcanic mountains are formed. Shield volcanoes, which are very wide with a gentle slope, are formed by long periods of eruption with low-viscosity lava.

In this task, you’ll observe a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water. write a hypothesis to predict the rel
Archy [21]

Answer:

Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;

NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.

We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.

We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'

If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.

Which equation is balanced? “Hint...count the atoms of each element. Only compare like elements!​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

Explanation:

Al + 3F2 = AlF3 ..... F has 6 on the left and 3 on the right.

Na + F2 = 2NaF ..... Na has 1 on the left and 2 on the right.

2Al + 3O2 = Al2O3 .... O has 6 on the left and 3 on right.
