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.
Answer:
51 stars it said i needed 20 characters because my answer was too short
so yeah.
Answer:
water because the other two were formed through a chemical process
It is 2 KJ
It is because the formula is :
q=m∆Hf
where m is the mass and ∆Hf is the heat fusion.
So, we get:
q=80×25
q=2000J or 2 KJ
