Answer: The missing coefficient is 2.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

As in the products, there are 2 atoms of sodium, thus there will be 2 atoms of of sodium in the reactant as well. This will balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms as well.
Thus the missing coefficient is 2.
The given balanced reaction is,

The stoichiometric coefficients of each element or compound represents the number of moles of that element or compound required for the complete reaction to take place.
The mole ratios of different products and reactants will be:



So the mole ratio comparing iron (Fe) and oxygen gas (
) is
4 : 3
Answer:
the amount of matter it contain
Answer: sound waves
Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solid
