Crude petroleum is formed from organic matter that accumulates in sea basins and estuaries and decomposed by anaerobic bacteria resulting to a black viscous product. A typical elemental analysis shows 81% C, 13%H, 1%N, 3% O, and 2% S. During a certain combustion, air is supplied in less than theoretical amount. 75% of the O2 burns up to CO2 and the rest to CO. The molal ratio CO to H2 in the flue gas is 1:2. a. Calculate the Orsat analysis of the flue gas  b. % of the theoretical air supplied for combustion  c. m3 air supplied/kg cure petroleum
