gollark: Did it *come* with the formula and say "how many moles of O2 do you need to get three 2Fe2O3s", or what?
gollark: ... wait, no, I'm being silly, you'd still have the same ratio of thing to other thing.
gollark: Not sure why, I guess it's more convenient.
gollark: I just use whole numbers for everything myself, but my (GCSE) Chemistry teacher does do stuff like 1/2O2 sometimes.
gollark: I've been told that when balancing things you can do halves with oxygen for some reason.
