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.
My day was good!! Thank you so much for asking :)

Answer:
7.65 moles of silver are produced
Explanation:
Zinc, Zn, reacts with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as follows:
Zn + 2AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag
<em>Where 1 mole of Zn reacts with an excess of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag</em>
To solve this question we must convert the mass of Zn to moles and, using the chemical equation, we can find the moles of Ag as follows:
<em>Moles Zn (Molar mass: 65.38g/mol):</em>
250g Zn * (1mol / 65.38g) = 3.824 moles Zn
<em>Moles Ag:</em>
3.824 moles Zn * (2mol Ag / 1mol Zn) =
<h3>7.65 moles of silver are produced</h3>
Answer:
Atom is a the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
Molecules is a a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Particles is a minute portion of matter.
A particle can be a single atom or a molecule ( a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds).
