Aerobic degradation of an organic compound by a mixed culture of organisms in wastewater can be represented by the following reaction:

C6H4CH3OH + a O2 + b NH3 → c C5H7NO2 + d CO2 + e H2O (Substrate) (biomass)

a. Determine a, b, c, d, and e if RQ = 0.5.

b. Determine the yield coefficient, YX/S YX/O2.
