Answer
a = 1 ; b = 8 ; c = 5 and d = 6
Explanation
The reactant undergoing combustion reaction is pentane.
First it is important to know the molecular formula for pentane and the products of the combustion reaction so that we can write the unbalanced equation.
C5H12 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Now we need to balance this equation by ensuring the same number of each atom is on both sides. Starting with carbon, there are 5 on the left hand side but only one on the right hand side so we need to add a 5 in front of the CO2.
C5H12 + O2 → 5CO2 + H2O
Next we need to balance the hydrogens. As there are 12 on the left but only 2 on the right we need to add a 6 in front of the H2O to produce 12 in total (2 x 6 = 12).
C5H12 + O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O
Finally we need to balance the oxygens. There are 2 on the left but 16 on the right so we need to add an 8 in front of the O2 on the left to produce 16 in total (2 x 8 = 16).
C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O
Calculation approach can also be used.

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
Explanation:
of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?
The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:
Mass water:
3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water
Moles water -18.01g/mol-
0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.
Moles MgCO3.3H2O:
0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O
Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O
Mass percent:
2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
