In the chemical formula \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) for sulfuric acid, here's how to complete the activity:

  1. Coefficient: This term refers to the number in front of the formula or a part of the formula that indicates how many molecules or units are present. In this case, there is a coefficient of 3 in front of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \).

  2. Element Symbol: This term refers to the symbols that represent each element in the chemical formula. In this case, the element symbols are \( \text{H} \) for hydrogen, \( \text{S} \) for sulfur, and \( \text{O} \) for oxygen.

  3. Subscript: This term refers to the small numbers that follow the element symbol and indicate the number of atoms of that element in a molecule. In this formula, \( 2 \) is the subscript for \( \text{H} \), and \( 4 \) is the subscript for \( \text{O} \).

So, placing the correct terms in the appropriate boxes:

  • The number 3 (coefficient) goes in the box for Coefficient.
  • The symbols H, S, O (element symbols) go in the box for Element Symbol.
  • The numbers 2 and 4 (subscripts) go in the box for Subscript.

This gives you a clearer understanding of how the components of the chemical formula relate to sulfuric acid.
