do coifficents count in finding molar mass like for example

2 C2 + o --->

would it be 4 * 12 or 2 * 12 to find the molar mass of carbon?

no they do not count. molar mass is a given constant. what u are trying to calculate is mass, dependant on the number of moles(which are what the coefficients represent). also, make sure your oxygen is a capital letter, and is there such a thing as C2?
