Question
For a generic balanced reaction having form
aA + bB ? cC + dD
What do the characters a, b, c, and d represent and what do the characters A, B, C, and D represent?
A) The lower case characters represent the coefficients of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction and the upper case characters represent the formulas of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction.
B) The lower case characters represent the order of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction and the upper case characters represent the concentrations of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction.
C) The lower case characters represent the formulas of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction and the upper case characters represent the coefficients of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction.
D) None of the other answers are applicable.

Explanation / Answer
A) The lower case characters represent the coefficients of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction and the upper case characters represent the formulas of the reactants and products in a balanced reaction.
For example:
2KOH + H2SO4 -----> K2SO4 + 2H2O
a = 2
b= 1
c= 1
d= 2
