Titin is the largest known protein with a length of 34,350 amino acids. Regular proteins are relatively big molecules, and titin happens to be the largest with a chemical formula of C132983H211861N36149O40883S693 The "chemical name" of a protein is basically a listing of the amino acids it contains in order: Glycyltryptophanylalanine would be a compound made of the amino acids glycine, tryptophan, and alanine. If there are more than a few amino acids the names get very long, so proteins are often given (fairly) short names as well, often ones that describe what they do or where they're found. "Titin" is one example; "hemoglobin" and "superoxide dismutase" are a couple of others. There's also a shorthand way of specifying the exact sequence of amino acids in a protein that uses a three letter abbreviation ("GLY" instead of "glycyl") and an even shorter way that uses single letter abbreviations ("W" instead of tryptophanyl (no, it doesn't make sense to me either)).
The name "titin" derives from its full chemical name, which is based on its structure and composition. Titin is a large protein found in muscles and is the longest known protein to date, thus necessitating a long chemical name to describe its complexity and functions.

What is the chemical formula for dihydrogen sulfate?
It is: H2SO4 ============================== While there is certainly the chemical with the formula H2SO4, there is no "dihydrogen sulfate" name. H2SO4 is called sulfuric acid, and that is the only name recognized by the IUPAC for H2SO4. So if you are naming H2SO4 then use "sulfuric acid", do not use "dihydrogen sulfate."
Using the example of water being H2O or dihydrogen monoxide what is the chemical name for tea?

Why are the names of some chemicals are so long (such as 9- 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl adenine)?
The long names of some chemicals, like 9-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl adenine, often describe the specific structure or composition of the molecule. Each part of the name provides important information about the chemical's functional groups, arrangement of atoms, or stereochemistry. This level of detail helps chemists to accurately identify and communicate about these compounds.
