Question

6/10
how many total atoms are in the chemical formula $\text{c}_3(\text{h}_2\text{o})_2$?

Explanation:

Step1: Count carbon atoms

Carbon: $3$ atoms from $\text{C}_3$

Step2: Count hydrogen atoms

Hydrogen: $2 \times 2 = 4$ atoms (from $(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2$)

Step3: Count oxygen atoms

Oxygen: $1 \times 2 = 2$ atoms (from $(\text{H}_2\text{O})_2$)

Step4: Sum all atoms

Total atoms: $3 + 4 + 2$

Answer:
