Counting Atoms No worries!
Refresher… Subscript… = H+H = H+H+O = H+H+S+O+O+O+O
Refresher… = Ca+(O+H)+(O+H) Ca+O+O+H+H
Refresher… = H+H+O+H+H+O
Try this… = = = = Mg=3 P=2 O=8 3+2+8= 13 Atoms in
Try this… = = = (Pb+(N+O+O+O)+(N+O+O+O))+(Pb+(N+O+O+O)+(N+O+O+O))+ (Pb+(N+O+O+O)+(N+O+O+O))+(Pb+(N+O+O+O)+(N+O+O+O))= Or Pb+N+O+O+O+N+O+O+O+Pb+N+O+O+O+N+O+O+O+Pb+N+O+O+O+N+O+O+O+Pb+N+O+O+O+N+O+O+O= Pb=4 N=8 O=24 4+8+24=36 total atoms
Now you are ready to do it on your own!!! Easy to do… just don’t rush your work!
