Stochiometric Coefficients

[Daniel Hernandez 1G]

Are stochiometric coefficients measured in moles or is there any other unit?

[Taylor K 2D]

I don’t believe stoichiometric coefficients are measured in any units. They are just there to clarify the ratio of the products and the reactants.

Stoichiometric coefficients are simply the numbers multiplying chemical formulas in a chemical equation, and I don't believe that they are measured in moles. These coefficients show how many formula units or molecules are present (how many NaCl molecules there are for example). They're used to balance chemical equations by multiplying each coefficient to achieve a whole number, while maintaining the same ratio.

Stoichiometric coefficients are just used to highlight the ratios of each reactant and product in a chemical equation. They are not measured in moles or any units.

Stoichiometric coefficients do not have units associated with them, but rather they show how many atoms, molecules, or formula units are present in a substance. Subsequently, you can multiply these values by 6.0221 x 10^23 (or 1 mol) as a mole could represent any of these, which gives rise to the concept that the stoichiometric coefficients in a chemical equation show the number of moles of each substance on either the reactants or products side and their ratios.

No, stoichiometric coefficients do not have units. They just indicated a number that is related to the number of moles of the compound it represents.

[Zoe Staggs 3B]

Stoichiometric coefficients are typically just a unit meant to indicate a ratio. However, this can be representative of a ratio of moles of a substance.
