    It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

    For example:

    CH4 + O2 - - > H2O + CO2 that is not balanced

    with the coefficients located

    CH4 + 2O2 - - > 2H2O + CO2 now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal
