NEET Chemistry Mole Concept MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the mole concept in chemical reactions is correct?
The stoichiometric coefficients indicate the number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction.
The stoichiometric coefficients only represent the number of molecules and not moles.
In a balanced reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products, hence coefficients are irrelevant.
The coefficients can be used to deduce the empirical formula of a compound without knowing its molar mass.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation, such as in the combustion of methane, represent the number of moles of each reactant and product involved in the reaction.
