Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 1
Hydrogen Atoms 6 2
Oxygen Atoms 2 3
It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,
C₂H₆ + O₃ → C₂O₂ + H₆O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 3 3
We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.
Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,
C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 7 7
Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.
Since 1 mole of any element contains 6.0221023 atoms, a mole of carbon and a mole of oxygen will have the same number of atoms.
<h3>Is a mole of oxygen equivalent to a mole of carbon?</h3>
Answer and justification The molar mass of carbon differs from the molar mass of oxygen, hence this assertion is untrue. As a result, one mole of oxygen and one mole of carbon cannot have the same mass.
<h3>What kind of link unites carbon and oxygen?</h3>
A polar covalent link between carbon and oxygen is known as a carbon-oxygen bond. With six valence electrons, oxygen likes to either share two of them in a bond with carbon, leaving the remaining four unoccupied.

Answer: a. solution
Explanation:
A solution is a mixture which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.Example: salt water
Molecule of an element is defined as the aggregate of atoms of similar elements. Example: 
. Molecule of a compound is the aggregate of atoms of different elements in a fixed ratio by mass. Example: 
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: 
A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means. Example: Helium, water
Neutralize it with a alkaline
