<u>Answer:</u> The missing coefficients are 2 and 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given reaction is a combustion reaction which is defined as the reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

Every equation follow law of conservation of mass which states that the total number of individual atoms present on the reactant side is always equal to the total number of individual atoms present on the product side.

For the given chemical equation:

CH_4+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of oxygen atoms = 3

As, the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are not balanced, therefore we add some coefficients to make them balanced.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation follows:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Thus, the missing coefficients are 2 and 2.

CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O

What is the mass of a steel cylinder that has a density of 75.0 g/ml and a volume of 12 ml?
liubo4ka [24]
Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume

Therefore:
mass = density * volume

We are given that:
Density = 75 g/ml
volume = 12 ml

Substitute with these givens in the equation to get the mass as follows:
mass = density * volume
mass = 75 * 12
mass = 900 g

What effect does salt have on a marshmallow?
Naily [24]

Answer:

The original marshmallow was named for the inclusion of marshmallow root in the recipe. The roots and leaves of the marshmallow plant contain mucilage, a slimy-textured demulcent best known for its use as a homeopathic cough suppressant. Marshmallow root is considered to be soothing and mildly antimicrobial. It has long been used as an herbal treatment for minor digestive issues and skin irritations, although its use in the creation of its namesake confection has long since fallen by the wayside.

What two substances are formed at the end point of a neutralization reaction
Slav-nsk [51]
Most likely the answer is water and a salt. When a strong acid and strong base react the OH and H form water and the cation from the base and anion from the acid forms a salt. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
