If you were a friend do stoichiometry problems, what would you tell them about how they might use subscripts and coefficients in their problem solving? use sentence(s).

Im not sure if this will help but... your subscripts in a balanced equation are used to calculate the molar mass of the compound. And your coefficients are used to get the ratios. so for example we have this balanced equation
Be3N2 + 6H2O= 3Be(OH)2 + 2NH3  and you have to find the molar mass of 6h2o, you need to multiply the subscript by the atomic mass and then add them together to get the overall molar mass.  * 2(1.01) + 16.00= 18.02 g/mol
and if a question wants to know the limiting or excess regent you would use the coefficients to find out the ratio between the compounds.
 

It conforms what ever surface its in.
