The coefficient (not a subscript or superscript) placed immediately before the formula of the reactant in the equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reaction. If there is no explicit coefficient, a value of 1 for the coefficient is assumed.
The coefficient in front of the molecule tells its relative number of moles.
A balanced chemical equation.
mole ratio
The equation for balanced photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chemical Equation
Balancing Chemical Equations is absolutely essential if you want to determine quantities of reactants or products. An unbalanced chemical equation gives only the identify of the beginning reactants and the final products using the appropriate formulas as well as the conditions of temperature, physical state, and pressure conditions under which the reaction is to operate under. However an unbalanced equation can say nothing about the quantities involved until the equation has been balanced. A balanced equation assures that the conservation law of matter is obeyed. The total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products. A balanced equation tells you the proportional quantities of each substance involved.
In a balanced chemical equation the number of molecules or atoms are specified.
These data are given by the correct coefficients in the chemical equation.
This is the number before a chemical compound.
The information in a balanced chemical equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in a reaction is the number appearing immediately before the formula for the reactant in question in the chemical equation. This number is called a "coefficient".
a balanced equation shows the correct proportion and mole/grams of the reactants involved....
A balanced chemical equation.
Coefficients in a chemical equation represent the number of units of the formula immediately following the coefficient that are involved in the balanced equation for the reaction.
A properly balanced chemical equation.
You get the reactants, products, and the ratio that the chemicals react in. It also gives information on what processes the chemicals are undergoing, such as oxidation/reduction and acid/base.
mole ratio
- what are the reactants - which are the products - the quantity of each chemical involved - the type of reaction
These coefficients show the number of molecules involved in the chemical reaction.
