Also, the compounds can be placed in chemical equations, that when balanced, show the proportion of products and reactants needed (in moles) to complete a reaction. The chemical formula can tell you the amount of each individual element that makes up that compound. Usually, they are derived by mass, so if you multiply the subscript number by the elemental mass of the number preceding, you can find how much of that element is in that compound.
