NEET Chemistry Mole Concept MCQ Question
Consider a diagram illustrating the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g). If the diagram shows different colored spheres representing atoms, how should the stoichiometric coefficients be interpreted in terms of moles?
They represent the number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction.
They only indicate the number of molecules, not moles.
They represent the volume of gases involved at STP.
They are arbitrary numbers used to balance the equation.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent the number of molecules and moles of each substance involved in the reaction, as stated in the NCERT context.
