Lets look at the example 
Cu(SO4)2
SO4 means 1 atom of S and 4 atoms of O

(SO4)2 means 2*1 atom of S and 2*4 atoms of O, so we get

Answer:

The wax

Explanation:

After the wax finishes burning the reaction stops and no more production of carbon dioxide, water and energy but oxygen still continues to abound all around.

In order to determine the amount of carbon dioxide and water that would be produce, we simply use the amount of wax to relate with them.
