Answer 2

Answer;

A: coefficients

Explanation;

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Thus, the mass of substances produced in a chemical reaction is always equal to the mass of reacting substances. Therefore, there is need to have the same number of each type of element on each side of a chemical equation.

Coefficients of products and reactants are used to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.
