Question:
The exhaust gas of a furnace burning a hydrocarbon fuel in air is sampled and found to be \(13.45 \% \mathrm{CO}_{2} ; 1.04 \% \mathrm{CO} ; 2.58 \% \mathrm{O}_{2} ; 7.25 \% \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} ; 75.68 \% \mathrm{~N}_{2}\) and a negligible amount of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\). If the temperature of the exhaust gas is \(2500 \mathrm{~K}\), calculate
(a) the carbon/hydrogen ratio of the fuel;
(b) the equivalence ratio;
(c) the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) (show this as a function of pressure) and
(d) the pressure of the exhaust gas.
