In the reaction aa + bb > > dd, the lowercase letters represent?

Coefficient

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

aA + bB    →   dD

This equation shows that reaction is balanced by coefficient q,b and d.

Reactant    coefficients              Product      Coefficient

A                    a                               D                     d

 B                    b                  

Every balanced equation follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass. The numbers 6 with CO₂, 6 with H₂O and 6 with O₂  are coefficient which balance the equation.

they both have a y in them
