What do coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?

Sagot :

The coefficient determines how many molecule/atoms used in that reaction. 

The molecule involved in a chemical equation can be different with the other molecule. If the reaction makes a bigger molecule, the compound used might count more than the product made. If the reaction creates a small side product it might make a more small molecule. The compound count might be different, but the total amount of atoms/element should be equal.
