Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Given that the formula of the compound is Fe2O3, if a coefficient of 2 is placed in front of the formula, that is, if we write 2Fe2O3 . Then;
The number of Fe atoms becomes 2 *2 = 4
The number of oxygen atoms becomes 2*3 = 6
That is why the total number of iron atoms were written down as 4.
Answer:
The person writes a coefficient of 2 in front of Fe2O3 but then writes a 4 for the number of iron (Fe) atoms. Explain this difference.
