The coefficients in front of the products and reactants give the molar ratio.
Explanation:
The coefficients are the numbers in front of each molecule or element.
The coefficient for Hydrogen is 2
The coefficient for Oxygen is 1
The coefficient for Water ( Hydrogen Oxide) is 2
The ratio for molar ratio of Hydrogen to water is 2/2
The ratio for molar ratio of Oxygen to water is 1/2
The molar ratio depends on the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
