In a chemical equations, what term is given to the elements and compounds on the right side of the equation?

a)

subscript

b)

products

c)

Gram

c)

mass

11.

The big number that sits in front of a chemical formula is the coefficient. This tells us the number of (a)   we have.

12.

In a chemical equation, the total number of atoms of each element must be exactly the (a)   on the reactants side as they are on the products side.

13.

Matter/Mass can not be created nor destroyed, only rearranged based on the Law of (a)   of Mass

14.

How do you determine the number of molecules present if there is no coefficient before an element or compound?

a)

it is an automatic 2 because 2 is a lucky number.

b)

it is an automatic 0 because there always has to be a coefficient.

c)

it is an automatic 1 because the formula is present.

d)

the coefficient tells the number of atoms, not the number of molecules.

15.

What element as a symbol of Na?

(a)  

16.

What element has a symbol of Cu?

(a)  

17.

How many total atoms are in the chemical formula?

a)

1

b)

7

c)

5

d)

8

18.

How many total atoms are present on the products side in the chemical equation?

a)

26 atoms

b)

20 atoms

c)

36 atoms

d)

17 atoms

19.

How many total atoms of iron are present on the reactants side in the chemical equation?

(a)  

20.

The small number that sits down beside an element is called the (a)   . It tells the number of atoms each element has in a chemical formula.

21.
