In chemistry, a coefficient in front of a chemical formula tells you how many moles you have. When balancing a chemical equation, the law of conservation of matter must be upheld. To do this, you add coefficients as needed, and these coefficients represent mole ratios of either reactants or products.

What does a coefficient tell you in science?
Coefficients are, in general, a number that is a factor of a term in a formula. It is constant, and so doesn't contain any of the variables of the formula. For example for a fixed resistor with 5 ohms, the voltage V= 5I (I=current) the number 5 is a coefficient. Other formulae have other coefficients, and particular measurements may be named coefficients. Eg the coefficient of friction. tl;dr They are numbers, different coefficients tell you different things

What is the difference between a subscript and a coefficient in a chemical formula?
The subscripts tell you how the atoms are bound together. The coefficient tells you how many atoms there are.

What does a coefficients tell you?
That would depend on the coefficient in question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------A coefficient indicates how many molecules or atoms of each reactant & product are involved in a reaction. -<3
What is a coefficient and what is a coefficient and what does it tell you?
A coefficient is a number (or a representation of a number such as x or y) that comes before a number, variable, or an expression. Typically used in algebraic notation, a coefficient is usually used to indication some sort of multiplication. For example: 6a The coefficient in this case is 6, and is is being used to indicate multiplying the term "a" by 6.

The CV is a way to summarize the variation of results from the mean.
