1. One hundred moles of a gaseous fuel containing 50% propane (C3H8) and 50% butane (C4H10). What is the theoretical moles of air required for combustion? 

2. A flue gas contains 70.6% N2, 17.6% CO2, and 11.8% O2 on a dry-basis. The mole fraction of H2O in the flue gas is 0.15. What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the flue gas if it is released at 760 mmHg?

3. A pure hydrocarbon is burned with excess air . Orsat analysis of the combustion products shows 9.08% CO2, 1.63% CO, 5.28% O2, and no free H2. What is the ratio of carbon to hydrogen in the fuel?

4. Pure ethane is burned completely using air supplied in excess at 30 C, 760 mmhg, and 85% RH. An orsat analysis of the flue gas should contain the compositions of?
