The first thing that is done once the chemical reaction is captured is that the number of reagents is equal to the number of products, how do we achieve this? Well it is easy, the stoichiometric number should always always be first in essential molecules such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and then in others less used such as sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

The stoichiometric coefficient number must always be the smallest possible, and must generate the number of products is always equal to the number of reagents.

Explanation:

CH4 + (2) O2 → CO2 + (2) H2O

This is the example of a balanced equation, where the stoichiometric number that must always be INTEGER OR FRACTIONAL WITHOUT COMAS is the one that is in parentheses and must be written in capital letter

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
