To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.
This problem is very easy to answer. You simply have to look at the subscripts of each element of the compound.
1. For caffeine, which has a molecular formula of C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, it contains 8 atoms of Carbon, 10 atoms of Hydrogen, 4 atoms of Nitrogen and 2 atoms of Oxygen.
2. For Iron(III) Sulfate, which has a molecular formula of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, it contains 2 atoms of Iron, 3 atoms of Sulfur, and 12 atoms of Oxygen.

<h3>Types of Osmosis</h3>
Osmosis is of two types:
Endosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis. This is known as endosmosis.
Exosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis. This is known as exosmosis.
The kind of reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid is a precipitation reaction.
<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
- The chemical reaction between Ba(OH)2(aq) and H2SO4(aq) is given by;
Ba(OH)₂(aq) + H₂SO4(aq) --> BaSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
- This is a type of precipitation reaction, where a precipitate is formed after the reaction, that is Barium sulfate.
<h3>Other types of reaction</h3><h3>Neutralization reactions </h3>
- These are reactions that involve reacting acids and bases or alkali to form salt and water as the only products.
- For example a reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)
<h3>Displacement reactions</h3>
- These are reactions in which a more reactive atom or ion displaces a less reactive ion from its salt.
Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
<h3>Redox reactions </h3>
- These are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation occuring simultaneously durin a chemical reaction.
- For example,
Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
- Magnesium atom undergoes oxidation while copper ions undergoes reduction.
<h3>Decomposition reactions</h3>
- These are type of reactions that involves breakdown of a compound into its constituents elements.
- For example decomposition of lead nitrate.
Pb(NO3)2(S) → PbO(s) + O2(g) + NO2(g)
