The usage of a balanced equation to relate the mass of reactants and products in a
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical reaction helps us predict what happens when the chemical reaction takes place. Balanced chemical equations can be used to predict the relationship between the mass of the reactants consumed and the number of products formed in a chemical reaction.

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation provide the mole-to-
mole stoichiometry among the reactants and products. The molar
mass (in g/mol) can be used as the conversion factor between moles
and the mass of a substance. Thus, the balanced equation and molar
masses can be used in conjunction with one another to calculate the
masses involved in a reaction.
Complete combustion of methane
When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is
CH₂(g) + O₂(g) →CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.
Review Constants Perio
Part A
What coefficients are needed to balance the equation for the complete combustion of methane? Enter the coefficients in the order CH4, O2, CO2, and H₂O,
respectively.
Express your answer as four integers, separated by commas (e.g., 1,2,3,4).
What are reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
How are the coefficients in a balanced
reaction used in a calculation?
To determine the mass of the products
produced by the reaction.
To determine the proportion of moles of
reactants and products.
To determine the mass of the reactants
consumed by the reaction.
The coefficients are not relevant to
stoichiometric calculations.
