What is a number added to an atom or molecule to help balance a chemical equation?
A coefficient.
What are the substances on the right side of a balance chemical equation called?
Products.
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 do you notice after you balance a hydrocarbon combustion reaction equation?
apex sometimes the coefficient for the oxygen molecule is not a whole number.
How can you balance a chemical equation using coefficients?
Co-efficients are written in a chemical equation to balance the equation. this is due to the conservation of mass seeing how we can't make substances out of nothing. For Example. NaOH + H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + H2O As you can see on the left side, there is only one Na (sodium) atom, but on the right hand side we have 2. meaning that an extra sodium atom appeared from no where and this VIOLATES the conservation of mass. so we must balance is 2NaOH+H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O There are 2 Na on both sides There is 1 sulfur (s) on both sides there is 4 H on both sides and 6 oxygen on both sides. Hope this helps :D
What is the relationship between coefficient and balance chemical equation?
balance chemical equation, change only the coefficients of the formulas.

balance the reactant side with the product side of the equation.
What is coefficient?
numbers in front of chemical formulas to help balance the equation
What is written in front of the formula used to balance chemical equations?

What is the name of the large whole number added to the front of a compound to balance equation?
To balance a equation, the whole number added or used in front of a compound is known as Coefficient.
Can a decimal be a coefficient in a chemical equation?
No! You can change coefficients as needed to balance an equation but you cannot just change a substance's subscripts.

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.
