What number do you place to the left of the formula for a substance taking part in a reaction?
Coefficient
What is the number you place to the left of the formula for a substance taking part in a reaction?
CoefficientCoefficient
What is ment by the term coefficient in relation to a chemical reaction?
A coefficient is a number written in front of a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation. The coefficient can represent the number of atoms, molecules, formula units, or moles of the substance.
What does the formula of a substance tell you?
The formula of a substance(element or compound) tells us the number of molecules in the in the substance(element or compound).
The number that tells how many molecules of a particular substance take part in a chemical reaction is?
When writing a BALANCED Reaction equation , it is the extreme left number(Molar ratio) that indicates the number of molecules reacting. e.g. H2SO4 + 2KOH = K2SO4 + 2H2O The molar ratios are 1:2::1:2 We can re-write this equation as H2SO4 + KOH + KOH = K2SO4 + H2O + H2O As you can see the 'KOH' and the H2O ' are written out twice.. So in order to eliminate this repetition we place a coefficient ( molar ratio) to the left of the given molecule.

What do coefficients in a chemical equation represent?
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 number in front of a chemical formula in an equation that indicates how many molecules or atoms of each reactant and product are involved in a reaction?
This number tells a surprising amount about the chemical reaction. For starters, they are placed there so that there is an equal number of each element on either side of the equation. They also tell you the number of moles of each substance used in the reaction. The amount of a substance that contains as many atoms, molecules, ions, or other elementary units as the number of atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12. The number is 6.0225 × 1023, or Avogadro's number. Also called gram molecule). Ideally, you would want to use that many moles of each substance to get a complete reaction. This is not often practical, so it is used as a ratio, which is also helpful in determining the limiting reactant and other numerical values. Unfortunately, I'm not a very good teacher and there is a lot more to it than there first appears, but I hope this is at least a satisfactory explanation.In a chemical equation, numbers often appear in front of a chemical formula. These numbers tell you the number of molecules or atoms of each substance in the reaction.
Grams to formula units?
It depends on the substance and its molar mass.In order to convert from grams to formula units, you must first convert grams to moles, then moles to formula units (grams --> moles --> formula units).1. Divide the mass (g) of the given substance by the substance's molar mass.2. Multiply the number of moles found in Step 1 (above) by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023).---- Mass substance ----- X 6.022 x 1023 formula unitsMolar mass substanceCONVERSION FACTORMass (g) substance x 1 mol substance ------- x ----- Avogadro's number/////////////////// molar mass (g) substance ------------ 1 mol substance

What information does the coefficient provide in a chemical reaction?
It tells you the number of molecules or number of moles of each substance.
