Answer:

The stoichiometric coefficients.

Explanation:

Hello,

Chemical reactions are widely generalized by the following chemical equation:

aA+bB-->cC+dD

Capitalized letters are referred to both the reacting and produced species during the chemical reaction meanwhile the lowered case letters are referred to the stoichiometric coefficients which balance the chemical reaction. Balancing means that the number of atoms in the reagents must be equal to the number of atoms in the products, this is exemplified via the following balanced chemical reaction:

2HCl+Ca(OH)_2-->CaCl_2+2H_2O

The coefficient 2 in the hydrochloric acid is set due to the produced calcium chloride which has two chlorine atoms in order to equal them.

Best regards.

Answer: Stochiometric coefficients

Explanation: The chemical equations must be balanced to follow the law of conservation of mass which says that the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

CH_4+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

This is a skeletal equation  and needs to be balanced by adjusting the stochiometric coefficients. In order to keep the mass same, the number of atoms must be same on both sides.  

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In the given list of chemical substances, CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, C_2H_5NH_2 is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means C_2H_5NH_2 react with O_2 to give CO_2,H_2O and N_2 as a product.

The balanced combustion reaction of C_2H_5NH_2 is,

20C_2H_5NH_2+40O_2\rightarrow 40CO_2+7H_2O+10N_2

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C) 2, 4, and 5.

This equation, though, is a little unnecessary at times because of the possibility of extra constants.
In this case you have a pressure constant which enables us to shorten your longer equation down to Charles' Law because pressure remains the same and doesn't affect the calculation.

The next step is to isolate the variable that you want, which is, in this case,
