1) Which statements are true?

Statement 1: TRUE.

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation should be the smallest integers possible.

Statement 2: FASLE.

A chemical reaction is written like this:


Reactants\rightarrow Products

Statement 3: TRUE.

We use the formulas and the states of the compounds in a chemical reaction.

Statement 4: FALSE.

We cannot change the identity of any compound involved in a chemical reaction. That's why we cannot change the subscripts.

Statement 5: FALSE.

The notation (aq) means aqueous. It means that the compound is dissolved in water.

1 and 3 are TRUE statements.
