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.
Mumps is an extremely contagious viral infection that usually affects children. The condition has a number of symptoms, the most common one being swelling of one or both of the salivary glands on the sides of the face.s mumps is viral, antibiotics cannot be used to treat it, and at present there are no anti-viral medications able to treat mumps. Treatment can only help relieve the symptoms until the infection has run its course and the body has developed an immunity, much like a cold.
Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. It mainly affects the salivary glands but sometimes other parts of the body are affected. Mumps normally affects children, but can occur at any age.Mumps is now rare in the UK as children are routinely immunised against mumps. The testicles (testes) are sometimes affected. 2  One testicle (testis) may become inflamed, swollen, and painful for about a week. 3  This is uncommon in young children. 4  However, about 1 in 4 males who get mumps over the age of 12 years will develop a painful swollen testis. 5  Occasionally, both testes are affected.
