Coefficients are used to balance equations because if you change the subscript, than you would change the substance.

What is written in front of the formula used to balance chemical equations?
A coefficient is written in front of a formula to balance a chemical equation.
What is used to balance chemicals equations?
coefficients
Oxygen gas is always written as O2 in chemical equations what is used to describe the 2 in this formula?
Coefficient
What coefficient does hcl have in the following balance equation cacl2 h2co3caco3 hcl?
That's not a chemical equation. But I believe the coefficient (the number in front of HCl) is 1. Normally, when you write equations, you don't put the 1. It's just inferred.
Which do you use to balance equations subscrips or coefficients?
Both. you must have the correct subscripts to represent the correct chemical then you only change the coefficients to balance the equation. The product of a coefficient and a subscript tells how many atoms are present.
What is a zero-sum rule?
a rule that is used to help balance equations (used in chemistry)
When balancing equations What is the only thing you can change?
The coefficient..:)
How does a coefficient in front of a formula affect the number of each type of atom in the formula?
the coefficient shows how many molecules are in the reaction. is it used to balance the equation
What can be adjusted to balance chemical equations?
The molar coefficient can be adjusted. These are the big numbers before each atom that shows the molar ratio between that atom and all the other atoms within the equation.
How do you balance equations without having to do it manually?
Automatically. What type of equations.
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.
What are some equations that are not balancing?
all equations balance as the theory of conservation of mass states that no mass should be lost, so all equations should balance
