Question

In balanced equations, we use "moles" to measure "representative particles". What numbers in the balanced equation show the number of moles?

The coefficients in the balanced equation show the number of moles. They indicate the relative amounts of reactants and products that participate in a chemical reaction. For instance, if we have the balanced equation:

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

It means that 2 moles of hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water. The coefficients 2, 1, and 2 represent the number of moles of each substance involved in the chemical reaction.

In a balanced equation, the coefficients in front of the chemical formulas represent the number of moles. The coefficients indicate the relative number of molecules, atoms, or ions of each reactant and product involved in the chemical reaction. These coefficients represent the mole ratios between the different substances in the reaction.
