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.
Balancing of chemical equation is essential because of the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of a system can not be created or removed.
The second equation is balanced
This is because the number of elements of each atom in the product side equal the number of elements of each atom on the reactant side.
The first equation is not balanced
This is because there is 1 molecule of 
on reactant side as compared to 3 molecules of
To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on sulphuric acid (
) and a coefficient of 3 on hydrogen (
)
i gotchuuu i’m checking my answer now
A. Because the temperature is not what's causing the explosion but it's the physical force of you squeezing the ballooon.
This is true
Because when water evaporates molecules break and separate into different atoms
