  • Calculating Atoms in Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃): A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to break down the calculation:

    * Na2CO3: This is the chemical formula for sodium carbonate. It tells us that each molecule contains:

    * 2 sodium atoms (Na)

    * 1 carbon atom (C)

    * 3 oxygen atoms (O)

    * 4 Na2CO3: This means we have 4 molecules of sodium carbonate.

    Calculation:

    1. Atoms per molecule: 2 Na + 1 C + 3 O = 6 atoms per molecule

    2. Total atoms: 6 atoms/molecule * 4 molecules = 24 atoms

    Answer: There are 24 atoms in 4 Na2CO3.
