Propane is burned completely with excess oxygen. The product gas contains 24.5 mole% CO2, 6.10% CO, 40.8%
Question:
(a) Calculate the percentage excess O2 fed to the furnace.
(b) A student wrote the stoichiometric equation of the combustion of propane to form CO2 and
CO as
According to this equation, CO2 and CO should be in a ratio of 1/1 in the reaction products, but in the product gas of Part (a) they are in a ratio of 24.8/6.12. Is that result possible?
