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.

A 65.0-gram sample of some unknown metal at 100.0° C is added to 100.8 grams of water at 22.0° C. The temperature of the water r
vampirchik [111]
We do a heat balance to solve this:
(m cp ΔT)water = -(m cp ΔT)metal
100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) = -65 (cp)(27-100)
cp = 100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) / (-65 (27-100))
cp = 0.44 J/ (°C × g)

The specific heat of the metal is 0.44 J/ (°C × g)
