A bacteria l culture, with the molecular formula - C_4.4 H_7.3 0_1.2 N_0.86 is cultivated under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The growth can be described by equation: C₁₆H₃₄ + 16.28O₂ + 1.42NH₃ ➔ 1.65C_4.4  H_7.3O_1.2 N_0.86 + 8.74CO₂ + 13.11 H₂O. Assuming 100% conversion, the yield of cell mass from hexadecane will be
