QUICK HURRY FIRST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIST!!!! Why is it important to add coefficients to the
kirill115 [55]
The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation are important because they give the ratio of the reactants and the products. Those ratios are fixed and when the reagents react do it in the same proportion and yield the products in the same proportion of the coefficients. Then, the coefficients are the basis for the calculations of the amount of substances that react and the amount of substances that are formed as result of the reaction.

how many moles of methane are produced when 25.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen
Dafna11 [192]
The chemical equation for this reaction is this:
CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O
 from the equation, the mole ration of CO2 to CH4 is ratio 1:1
and CH4 = 25.1
The mole ratio of H2 to H2O is 4:2
therefore, mole of H2 = 19.1* 4/2 = 38.2
The moles of methane produced is 38.2 moles
