Can you explain how to read a chemical formula?


Rate This Answer

You have failed to give a reaction, but to read a chemical formula, using 6CO2+6H2O->C6H12O6+6O2 as an example: The numbers in front indicate how many molecules you have. In this equation we have 6 carbon dioxide molecules plus 6 water molecules. They react to make a 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen and 6 oxygen molecule (a sugar) and 6 O2 molecules (covalent oxygens). ChaCha!
