The word elliptical refers to an Oval.
A chemical equation does not give information about the following:
- It usually does not give the "state of the substances". There are three states: Solid(s), liquid(q) and gas(vap).
- The chemical equation does not show whether it is complete or incomplete.
- The "speed of the reaction" is not mentioned.
- The "concentration of the substance" whether it is diluted or concentrated is not mentioned.
- The "rate of the reaction", temperature, catalyst, pressure etc is not mentioned. These can be mentioned "above or below the arrow".

Answer: 1.3% many crosslinks as isoprene units,
Explanation:
Given:
mass pf natural rubber= 200.0g
mass of sulphur = 4.8g
molar mass of sulphur =32g/mol
molar mass of isoprene = C5H8=( 12x5) +(1x8)= 68g/mol
Solution: we first find no of moles present in each using
no of moles = 
Isoprene: 200.0g x [1mole / 68g] = 2.94moles.
Sulfur: 4.8g x [1mole / 32g] x [1 mole crosslinks / 4 moles S] = 0.0375 moles crosslinks.
to find % crosslinked units, we have
0.0375 / 2.94 = 1.3% as many crosslinks as isoprene units,
