For an industrial process where a large amount of heat is required, a large combustion chamber is used, in which Benzene and Methyl Alcohol are burned with 65% excess air. For this combustion process it is required to accurately calculate the masses of oxygen and water contained in the products per unit mass of fuel burned. In addition to calculating the mole fraction and mass fraction of the products, as well as the mass of air required per unit mass of fuel that is burned. Finally, it is required to determine the air-fuel ratio for this chemical reaction. The products of combustion are carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen and oxygen.
