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.
The answer is A. Gas particles!
Helium is the least reactive because it has the least protons
Answer:
Hydropower
Explanation:
I learn whenever Hydro is in a word it means water
Also in the question it is talking about water and wind, solar, nor Biomass has anything to do with water, so you can use the process of elimination and find you will only have Hydropower left.
Hope this helps
