Oh, that's it. Thank you for clarifying it!10/10/21
you can tell based on the stoichiometric coefficients in the in the balanced equation, which tell you the number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction
in this case the values tell us that
2 moles of NaOH react with 1 mole of CaBr2 to produce
1 mole of Ca(OH)2 and 2 moles of NaBr
