Question

Calculate the theoretical flame temperature of a gas having 20% CO and 80% N2 when burnt with 150% excess air. Both the reactants are at 25oC.

 

Data:

 

ΔHof of CO2 = -94052 cal/gmol

 

ΔHof of CO = -26412 cal/gmol

 

Mean heat capacities in cal/gmol.oC are CO2 = 12, O2 = 7.9, N2 = 7.55
