Based on the formula for Sulfuric acid pictured above, there are molecules of sulfuric acid. In each molecule there are hydrogen atoms (H), sulfur atom (S), and oxygen atoms (O). This means that there are atoms total in this substance.

Answer 1

The chemical formula for sulfuric acid is \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \). This indicates that each molecule of sulfuric acid consists of:

• 2 hydrogen atoms (H)
• 1 sulfur atom (S)
• 4 oxygen atoms (O)

To find the total number of atoms in one molecule of sulfuric acid, we add the number of each type of atom:

\[ 2 , \text{(H)} + 1 , \text{(S)} + 4 , \text{(O)} = 7 , \text{atoms} \]

Therefore, there are a total of 7 atoms in each molecule of sulfuric acid.
