Explanation of Solution
The coefficient in a chemical reaction plays an important role. It gives the number of molecules and atoms that take part in chemical reaction. It shows the number of molecules reacting in the chemical reaction. Without coefficients, only the reactants and products can be identified.
For example in the reaction,
