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.
Answer:
Ionic bonding occurs between atoms that have opposite needs for electrons (metals and nonmetals) and results in a transfer of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs between atoms that have similar needs for electrons (two nonmetals) and results in a sharing of electrons.

Answer:
1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.
Explanation:
The word equation for the combustion of propane can be obtained from the chemical equation;
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
The word equation is therefore:
1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.
For such a combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are produced in the process.
First we need to know that the boiling point of water in C is 100 and we just need to solve for x in the equation:
-33.75-(-77.75) / 100 = 100-(-77.75) / x
44.4/100 = 177.75 / x
x = 177.75*100/44.4 = 400.33
The boiling point of water in ∘a would be 400.33∘a.
