Answer to Problem 1RQ

The stoichiometric coefficient determines the amount of product formed from the known amount of reactants.

Explanation of Solution

The stoichiometric coefficient in front of reactants determines how much amount of reactant has taken part in chemical reaction. It also helps in determining the limiting reagent in reaction and its amount in a chemical reaction. It is also known that limiting reagent specifies the amount of product produced in a chemical reaction. Therefore, stoichiometric coefficient tells us about the amount of product obtained.

Conclusion

The stoichiometric coefficient determines the amount of product formed from the known amount of reactants.
