Answer to Problem 11.68E
The volume of air that would be needed to combust
Explanation of Solution
The complete combustion reaction of methane is represented as,
The given mass of methane is
The molar mass of oxygen is
The molar mass of methane is
The number of moles of a substance is given as,
Where,
•
•
Substitute the mass and molar mass of methane in the equation (1).
Therefore, the number of moles of methane present in the reaction mixture is
One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen gas. Therefore, the relation between the number of moles of methane and oxygen is given as,
Where,
•
•
Substitute the value of
The pressure of a substance at STP is
The temperature of a substance at STP is
The ideal gas equation is given as,
Where,
•
•
•
•
•
Rearrange the above equation for the value of
Substitute the value of number of moles of oxygen,
Therefore, the volume of oxygen required to react with methane is
It is given that air is composed of about
The formula for volume percentage is represented as:
Where,
•
•
Rearrange the above equation for the value of
Substitute the value of volume percentage of oxygen and volume of oxygen in the equation (5).
Therefore, the volume of air that would be needed to combust
The volume of air that would be needed to combust

- Mass of CO2 formed early = 1.2 x 106 g The world burns approximately 3.8×1012 kg of fossil fuel per year. The previous two statements were either given or solved for in part a of the question. The following is the question asked in part b. The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approximately 376 ppm (by volume). By what percentage does the concentration increase each year due to fossil fuel combustion? Approximate the average properties of the entire atmosphere by assuming that the atmosphere extends from sea level to 15 km and that it has an average pressure of 381 torr and average temperature of 275 K. Assume Earth is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6371 km.
