  • Atom Count in Chemical Formulas: NaCl, C6H12O, NaCO3, C3H8O
    Let's break down each chemical formula and count the atoms:

    NaCl (Sodium Chloride)

    * Na (Sodium): 1 atom

    * Cl (Chlorine): 1 atom

    C6H12O (Glucose)

    * C (Carbon): 6 atoms

    * H (Hydrogen): 12 atoms

    * O (Oxygen): 1 atom

    NaCO3 (Sodium Carbonate)

    * Na (Sodium): 1 atom

    * C (Carbon): 1 atom

    * O (Oxygen): 3 atoms

    C3H8O (Propanol)

    * C (Carbon): 3 atoms

    * H (Hydrogen): 8 atoms

    * O (Oxygen): 1 atom

    Total Atoms

    To find the total number of atoms, we add up the atoms from each formula:

    * Na: 1 + 1 = 2

    * Cl: 1

    * C: 6 + 1 + 3 = 10

    * H: 12 + 8 = 20

    * O: 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

    Therefore, there are a total of 2 Na atoms, 1 Cl atom, 10 C atoms, 20 H atoms, and 5 O atoms.
