The number in front of a molecule tells you how many molecules there are. It is called the coefficient.
Example:
The overall process (really a series of reactions) of photosynthesis can be written in a balanced equation as
6CO2 + 6H2O to form C6H12O6 + 6O2
In this equation there is only one glucose molecule (C6H12O6), but six of each of the other compounds, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
Look at the chemical equation above. The subscript 4 in the reactants indicates that?
There are 4 molecules of that particular reactant involved in the reaction.
What is the number of water molecules in the balanced equation?
The number of water molecules in a balanced equation depends on the specific reaction being considered. The coefficient in front of water (H2O) in the balanced equation indicates how many molecules of water are involved in the reaction.
What part of the chemical formula indicates the number of atoms or molecules involved?
coefficients
Where is a coefficient placed in a chemical equation?
A coefficient is placed in front of a chemical formula to indicate the number of molecules or atoms involved in the reaction. It affects the entire chemical formula that follows it in the equation.
When you have finished balancing the equation in question number 1 which chemical or element will have the largest number of molecules in your balanced equation?
The chemical or element with the largest coefficient in front of its formula will have the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation. This is because the coefficient represents the number of molecules of that substance involved in the reaction.

What is the number placed in front of a chemical formula that tells how many atoms or molecules there are in the formula?
That is called a coefficient in a chemical equation. It indicates the number of molecules or units of a substance involved in a reaction.
What is the number of water molecules in the balanced equation?
The number of water molecules in a balanced equation depends on the specific reaction being considered. The coefficient in front of water (H2O) in the balanced equation indicates how many molecules of water are involved in the reaction.
What part of the chemical formula indicates the number of molecules of atoms involved?
coefficients
Is the number before a chemical formula indicates how many molecules are involved in a chemical reaction?
Yes, that is true.
What is a coefficient in science?
a coefficent in physical science means:a number in front of a chemical formula in an equation that indicates how many molecules or atoms of each reactant and product that are involved in a reaction
What part of the chemical formula indicates the number of atoms or molecules involved?
coefficients
What general terms does a chemical equation indicate?
Chemical formulas of reactants and products; number of molecules involved in the reaction.
Where is a coefficient placed in a chemical equation?
A coefficient is placed in front of a chemical formula to indicate the number of molecules or atoms involved in the reaction. It affects the entire chemical formula that follows it in the equation.
How are equation coefficients useful in determining amounts of reactions and products?
Equation coefficients show the number of molecules involved in a chemical reaction.
What information In a balanced chemical equation shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reactant?
In a balanced chemical equation the number of molecules or atoms are specified.
When you have finished balancing the equation in question number 1 which chemical or element will have the largest number of molecules in your balanced equation?
The chemical or element with the largest coefficient in front of its formula will have the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation. This is because the coefficient represents the number of molecules of that substance involved in the reaction.
