What is the Chemical Formula for Oxygen?
-
O3
-
H2SO4
-
NaOH
-
O2
Correct Answer
A. O2Explanation
The chemical formula for oxygen is O2. This is because oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule, meaning it naturally occurs as a pair of oxygen atoms bonded together. The subscript "2" in the formula indicates the number of atoms present, in this case, two oxygen atoms. Therefore, O2 is the correct chemical formula for oxygen.Rate this question:

Is H2SO4 Calcium Carbonate?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
H2SO4 is the chemical formula for sulfuric acid, while calcium carbonate is the chemical compound found in limestone and marble. These two substances are completely different and do not have the same chemical composition. Therefore, H2SO4 is not calcium carbonate.Rate this question:
