The chemical equation for the burning of charcoal, which is the reaction of carbon and___ to produce carbon dioxide, is written as C + O2 → CO2. | oxygen |
___ a chemical equation means writing the equation so that the same number of eachtype of atom exists on both sides of the arrow in the equation. | Balancing |
A ___ is the small number written to the right of a chemical symbol that tells how many atoms of an element are contained in one molecule of a substance | subscript |
___ are the full-sized numbers written in front of symbols and formulas. Acoefficient tells how many atoms, molecules, or formula units take part in a chemicalreaction. | Coefficients |
