where term CH1.7H0.15O0.4 represents metabolism of the microorganism. The ratio of moles of CO2 produced per mole of O2 consumed is called the respiratory quotient, RQ, which can be determined experimentally. Given this ratio we have 4 constants, a-d that are unknown. We can perform a mass balance on each of the four key elements
Carbon: 2 = c + (RQ)a
Hydrogen: 6 + 3b = 1.7c + 2d
Oxygen: 1 + 2a = 0.4c + d + 2(RQ)a
Nitrogen: b = 0.15c
Let RQ = 0.8 and then find the vector [a b c d] using Gauss Elimination Method.
