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.
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical reaction for the synthesis reaction is given below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Synthesis reaction is defined as a chemical reaction in which two small chemical substances combine together to form a single compound. The general equation for this chemical reaction follows:

For the reaction of calcium and oxygen combining together to form calcium oxide, the equation follows:

By Stoichiometry,
2 moles of calcium element combines together with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of calcium oxide.
Hence, the chemical equation for the reaction is given above.
The group of atoms held together by covalent bonds is called a molecule
My guess would be "B) they were produced by volcanoes" because hawaii has a bunch of volcanoes and volcanoes can produce extra land. While the other answers wouldn't make sense. Definitely B.
Answer:
The correct answer is : 44 dollars.
Explanation:
A quarter is one fourth of a dollar that is the reason it is known as quarter. A quarter is 25 cents or 0.25 dollar in value. If Matthew has 176 quarters in his jar than the value of the total coins would be:
1 quarter = 0.25 dollar
1 quarter = 1/4 dollar.
4 quarter = 1 dollar
then, 176 / 4 = x dollar
= 44 dollar
Thus, The correct answer is : 44 dollars.
