Answer:
.
Explanation:
.
Among the four species in this reaction, is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is
.
.
Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:
:
.
:
.
: not found yet.
By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas
is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These
carbon atoms and
hydrogen atoms would correspond to:
molecules, and
molecules.

The number of atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction,
is the only reactant with
atoms. These
atoms would correspond to:
molecules.
