Question

An integer precedes the formula of each substance; is
known as coefficients.

Answer 1

Answer: Stoichiometric coefficients

Answer 2

An integer that precedes the formula of each substance is known as Stoichiometric Coefficients.

Explanation:

Every chemical reaction is unique and while balancing it, we may use integers before each reactant and product.

What is stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry is defined as the numerical relationship between the number of moles of both reactants and products required or obtained in a chemical reaction.

Stoichiometric Coefficients:

• This number of moles is known as the stoichiometric coefficient.
• Therefore, the integer that precedes the formula of each substance (reactant or product) is known as stoichiometric coefficients.
