Answer:
- <em>The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the </em><u>relative number of moles of each reactant and product that interven in the chemical reaction.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each chemical formula that represents the reactants and products in the <em>chemical equation</em>. They indicate the mole ratio in which the elements or compounds react to form the products, as per the chemical equation.
See an example:
- Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen produce water
- Chemical (skeleton) equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)
This equation is not balanced: the number of atoms of oxygenin the reactant side is 2 while the number of atoms of oxygen isn the product side is 1. In order to balance the equation you need to add some coefficients.
When no coefficients are shown it is understood that the coefficient is 1.
- Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)
The coefficients 2 in front of H₂ and 1 (understood) in front of O₂, in the reactant side, and 2 in front of H₂O, in the product side, balance the equation.
Those coefficients mean that the 2 molecules (or mole of molecules) of H₂ react with 1 molecule (or mole of molecules) of O₂ to form 2 molecules (or moles) of H₂O (product side).
That is the mole ratio: 2 H₂ : 1 O₂ : 2 H₂O.
Notice that, in spite of the aboslute numbers may change, the mole ratio is unique for any chemical reaction. For example 4 : 2 : 4 is the same ratio that 2 : 1 : 2, or 8 : 4 : 8, but the most common practice is to use the most simple form of the ratio, i.e. 2: 1: 2.

The balanced equation for the reaction is
AgNO3 + MgCl2 ==> AgCl + Mg(NO3)2
So it's obvious that for each Mg ion, you'll get 1 AgCl molecule as a product. Now calculate the molar mass of AgCl, starting with looking up the atomic weights.
Atomic weight silver = 107.8682
Atomic weight chlorine = 35.453
Molar mass AgCl = 107.8682 + 35.453 = 143.3212 g/mol
Now how many moles were produced?
0.1183 g / 143.3212 g/mol = 0.000825419 mol
So we had 0.000825419 moles of MgCl2 in the sample of 50.0 ml. Since concentration is defined as moles per liter, do the division.
0.000825419 / 0.0500 = 0.016508374 mol/L = 0.016508374 m
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0165 m</span>

Explanation:
The above is the right answer to the question about the dissolution of the whole mixture mentioned in the excerpts above.
Explanation:
Atomic radius decreases from left to right in a period.
Therefore Calcium would have a smaller atomic size.
