The following reaction represents biomass synthesis from hexadecane

$\mathrm{C}_{16} \mathrm{H}_{34}+12.5 \mathrm{O}_2+2.13 \mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow 10.6 \mathrm{CH}_{1.66} \mathrm{O}_{0.27} \mathrm{~N}_{0.27}+5.37 \mathrm{CO}_2+11.4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

where $\mathrm{CH}_{1.66} \mathrm{O}_{0.27} \mathrm{~N}_{0.27}$ represents the biomass. The value of respiratory quotient (rounded off to two decimal places) is ___________.
