Animal cells have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not.
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
Hey there!
C₉H₂O + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
First let's balance the C.
There's 9 on the left and 1 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of CO₂.
C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O
Next let's balance the H.
There's 2 on the left and 2 on the right. This means it's already balanced.
C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O
Lastly, let's balance the O.
There's 3 on the left and 19 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of O₂.
C₉H₂O + 9O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O
This is our final balanced equation.
Hope this helps!
