The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the amount of moles of each substance involved in the reaction. On a smaller level, it also represents the amount of particles that have to collide or are produced in the reaction. Consider the following example:
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) (arrow) 2H2O(l) + CO2(g)
The coefficent behind oxygen in the reactants means that 2 molecules of oxygen have to collide with 1 molecules of methane to react. The coefficients in the products mean that this reaction produces 2 molecules of water and 1 molecule of carbon dioxide.

The coefficient is the number immediately to the left of an unknown value (X(
e.g.
2x^3 The '2' is the coefficient. '3' is the index number/exponential.

Which is the correct set of coefficient for the equation below?
The correct set of coefficient for an equation depends with the equation in question. There are many types of equations.
How do you find a coefficient?
Depends on the equation.
What is regression coefficient and correlation coefficient?
The strength of the linear relationship between the two variables in the regression equation is the correlation coefficient, r, and is always a value between -1 and 1, inclusive. The regression coefficient is the slope of the line of the regression equation.

The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation's x2-term is?
The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation's x2-term is 0.
How do you find a coefficient?
Depends on the equation.
What is the coefficient of velocity?
By itself there is none. A coefficient is the multiplying factor in a polynomial equation.
In the equation for the reaction of potassium with oxygen what is the coefficient of oxygen in the balanced equation for this reaction?
4K + O2 = 2K2O so the "coefficient" is 1
What is the quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation x square term is?
The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation x square term is what?
what reactant has the smallest coefficient in a balanced chemical equation?
It depends on the equation.
What is the coefficient of 5x2 plus 2x3 plus 4x plus 3?
There is no single coefficient for that equation, as a coefficient is the number by which any term is multiplied. The coefficients in that equation are 5, 2, 4 and 3.
What is regression coefficient and correlation coefficient?
The strength of the linear relationship between the two variables in the regression equation is the correlation coefficient, r, and is always a value between -1 and 1, inclusive. The regression coefficient is the slope of the line of the regression equation.
What is the coefficient in the algebraic expression 6n 3?
The coefficient in an expression is the multiplier of the variable in the equation. Here, the coefficient would be 6.
