The chemical formula for Ethyl Butyrate, a substance added to orange juice to make it smell sweet is C6H12O2. Use the chemical formula to determine how many Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) atoms are present in 1 molecule of Ethyl Butyrate.

Ethyl Butyrate has ??

Carbon Atoms.

Ethyl Butyrate has ??

Hydrogen Atoms.

Ethyl Butyrate has ??

Oxygen Atoms.

(The answers are out of 1 ,2, 6 and 12)

There are 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen.

Explanation:

The numbers after each element tell you how many molecules there are!

H2O

for example has 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
