The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.
For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.
Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.
Hope this helps.

D. A mixture
If the water is evaporating while the salt remains, it means the two are not chemically bonded and therefore are not a compound.
