mixture of a saturated hydrocarbon and N2 is burned in excess air supplied at 30oC, 760 torrs with 90% RH. An orsat analysis of the stack gas shows 7.6% CO2, 2.28% CO, 1.14% H2, 6.03% O2 and 82.95% N2 with a dew point of 55oC. The stack gases leave at 300oC, 765 mm Hg with a volume ratio of 2.05 m3 wet stack gas/m3 wet air. Calculate: (100 mol) a) Formula of the hydrocarbon b) Volume% of hydrocarbon in the mixture c) % excess air

Question
A mixture of a saturated hydrocarbon and N2 is burned in excess air supplied at 30oC, 760 torrs with 90% RH. An orsat analysis of the stack gas shows 7.6% CO2, 2.28% CO, 1.14% H2, 6.03% O2 and 82.95% N2 with a dew point of 55oC. The stack gases leave at 300oC, 765 mm Hg with a volume ratio of 2.05 m3 wet stack gas/m3 wet air. Calculate: (100 mol)
a) Formula of the hydrocarbon
