![**Understanding Sodium Thiosulfate Composition**
The chemical formula for sodium thiosulfate is:
\[ \text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 \]
**Question:**
How many oxygen atoms are in each formula unit of sodium thiosulfate?
*Interactive Element:*
Below the question, there is an input box where you can enter your answer. Next to the input box are three buttons:
1. An "X" button, presumably to clear the input.
2. A circular arrow, likely for resetting the exercise.
3. A question mark, which might provide a hint or additional information.
This section is designed to test your understanding of the composition of chemical compounds. Specifically, it asks you to identify the number of oxygen atoms present in sodium thiosulfate.
---
To answer the question: Look at the chemical formula. The subscript number immediately following the oxygen (O) symbol indicates the quantity of oxygen atoms in the compound. In \(\text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3\), there are 3 oxygen atoms.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ffc0e0d9d-d792-42b3-b08d-bd6c240e0148%2Fa3923966-2c7e-41b7-bce1-85977330545e%2Fxd90enh_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
